Autograph letter
Title: to Bell Wharton
Joe writes to Bell from Memphis. Responds to her comments on Lord Byron. Admits he is not capable of loving with his whole heart, "But I know I love you more than I can love any one else." Inquires what she would say if he proposed marriage to her. Asks her to "think well" before she answers.
