Two parts. First for Catharine Greene. Apologizes that something may prevent him from seeing her. Hopes she will "accept [his] sincere wishes for your happiness, and the happiness of your dear little family." Tells her that if she ever needs anything to ask him and he will do his best to accomplish it. Mentions her runaway servant, Ham [described in GLC02437.04021 as "molatto."] Second for Euphemia Ogden. Regrets not being able to see and play whist with her due to being "detained here by purpose more disagreeable than the employ [of] several apothecary vials." Wishes her well and that she did not live so far away. Watermarked "C Taylor" and with a hunting horn in a crest and "GR."
