Dr. Bird's chirography is by no means bad--still it cannot be called
good. It is very legible and has force. There is some degree of
nervousness about it. It bears a slight resemblance to the writing of
Miss Leslie, especially in the curling of the final letters--but is
more open, and occupies more space. The characters have the air of not
being able to keep pace with the thought, and an uneasy want of finish
seems to have been the consequence. A restless and vivid imagination
might be deduced from this MS. It has no little of the _picturesque_
also. The paper good--_wafered and sealed_.
