The hand writing here is of an odd appearance. The capitals and _long_
letters extend far above or below the line, and the rest have a
running and diminutive formation, rendering it difficult to
distinguish one from another. The words are unusually far apart, and
but little matter is contained in much space. At first sight the MS.
appears to be hurried--but a few moments' examination will prove that
this is not the case. The capital I's might be mistaken for T's. The
whole has a clean and uniform appearance. The paper is common, and the
seal (of red wax) is oval in shape--probably a shield--the device
illegible.
