Scope and content
Writes to say that he is pleased with her news [of his cousin Annie's engagement]. States that his recollections of Stephen Marshall 'are altogether pleasant', and asks why she should be surprised. Thinks that the marriage seems to be 'in every way most suitable.' Declares that he is very busy in various ways, and is occupied with the investigation of Spiritualism. Undertakes to send the Examiner if he can find it. Claims that he is very well and as he is still 'taking a holiday from hard brain-work', nothing disagrees with him.
