In reply to your inquiries concerning my health, prompted by such kind feelings. I cannot speak favorably. It continues to be very feeble, and with a Rheumatic affection in my hands and fingers makes the use of the pen very awkward, as is shown by this specimen. Mrs. Madison, to whom your inquiries are kindly extended enjoys her usual health, and desires to be included in the thanks and good wishes which I tender you.' In fine condition, with letter having been skillfully and professionally repaired and affixed to an identical size sheet, light uniform overall toning and a mailing fold through a single letter of signature.
