Transcript

Athenæum Club, Pall Mall
7th April 1876

Dear Mr Pollock—I enclose cheque (£5) for the Conspiracy Fund. I would do the same over again if a fresh application is found necessary. I am very glad that the thing has been undertaken and think that nothing too much can be done that may tend to the preservation of so valuable a life.

Believe me,
Yours very truly
J. J. Sylvester

[Direction on envelope:] F. Pollock Esqr | 12 Bryanston St | Portman Square | W
