I request the favor of you to give this gentleman (who I also recommend to your civility) the liberty of going on board the ship to see him & settle his accounts.” Intersecting folds, some light creasing, uniform toning, heavy area of adhesive residue, a small tear to the top edge, a few small areas of surface loss, pieces of reparative tape to the front areas of surface loss and folds on the reverse, otherwise very good condition.
