Maitland, Joseph M., 1836-1918
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Bell Wharton
Joseph writes to Bell expressing his belief that she thinks it a task to write to him. Claims "...when surrounded with all kinds of the "Fair Sex" here, I remain true to one at home..." Reports he received a copy of the Urbana Union through the mail. Says the weather is clear and cool, but the streets are very dusty. Mentions there will be a "Ball" next week and asks her if "... there is any harm in dancing?"
