Humorously tells sister-in-law that the families of the New York congressmen James Kent, Thomas Oakley and Edward Curtis have been "put in a commotion" regarding a lost atlas. Reports that a dispatch has been sent to Europe to follow Edward Curtis through France, Germany, Switzerland, Como, Rome, and Naples. States that he will notify George Curtis (possibly his biographer, lawyer George Ticknor Curtis) to terminate the dispatch to Europe if Curtis can meet Paige at a New York Hotel. Only the final three pages of this document survive.
