JOSEPH E. MILLER, ESQ.

Mr. Cooper's MS. is bad--very bad. There is no distinctive character

about it, and it appears to be _unformed_. The writing will probably

be different in other letters. Upon reference we find this to be the

fact. In the letter to Mr. Miller, the MS. is of a _petite_ and

finicky appearance, and looks as if scratched with a steel pen--the

lines are crooked. The paper is fine, and of a bluish tint. A wafer is

used.
