ms-number769625
abstractWalcutt writes that she is preparing her son to attend Wheelock's school.
handwritingHandwriting is somewhat scrawling, though largely clear and legible. The superscripts are occasionally difficult to decipher.
paperSmall square sheet is in fair condition, with moderate staining and wear. There is a large tear on the right side of one recto, which results in no loss of text. Large portions of the wax seal remain.
inkBrown-black ink is somewhat faded.
noteworthyThe manuscript number is based on the date in the trailer, written in Wheelock’s hand: November 25. However, in the dateline, it is uncertain what numbers Walcutt deletes and/or adds.
