In part: "Yesterday's rain, this day's wind, and tomorrow's final departure have kept me confined and prevented my paying to you the intended visit…. I must earnestly beg you will very fully write to me…. Your friendship is that much more pleasing and as you know my sentiments must only tell you Adieu…." In very good condition, with scattered foxing and faint staining, and chips to left edge with archival reinforcement to reverse. The writing is dark and clear throughout.
