[note (type: abstract): Ludlow writes regarding shipments to Boston for Whitaker and Occom, and relates business regarding the fundraising tour.][note (type: handwriting): Formal handwriting is small, but clear and legible.][note (type: paper): Small single sheet is in fair condition, with moderate staining, creasing and wear that results in a minor loss of text.][note (type: ink): Black-brown ink is faded.][note (type: noteworthy): On one verso, the writer's intention regarding the ⅌ symbol is uncertain, and so it has been left unmodified in the modernized transcription.]EventsFundraising Tour of Great Britain
