ALS, two pages, 6 x 9.5, Hotel Somerset letterhead, May 29, 1911. Letter to his nephew, in part: "You must have had a very hard time during the severe exercise & heat of the day. I am anxious to know how you got home and what condition the stock was in. Try and get along the best you can, I do not want to keep changing and think you can hire what men and teams are required outside…You can cut enough of that rye & through it over the fence to help out for the stock…You better make a little box stall for the little calf, I am afraid she will get tangled up in that chain." An initialed postscript by Miles reads: "Foxes are very fond of young prize goslins. If Mr. Lynch the butcher wants the little harrow for a few days let him have it. N. A. M." In fine condition, with trivial loss along the lower left edge of the second page.
