He was so good to write to me to ask me to give him some hints about my pictures...My heart & my head have been so agitated lately with misfortunes & my very uncomfortable situation had so depressed my spirits that I had not heart to begin any thing that could make me look back. I am better now & I hope happier prospects before me. Tell me is Mr. Hayley in town that I may see him or if not that I may write to him." In fine condition.
