Dear Miss Waverley,
I pray you will forgive the intrusion of a letter from this quarter on your thoughts at present. I take pen in hand to inquire after my brother Luther & lay my father?s worries at rest. Luther, frequently in the company of Mr. Frank W? lately, may have, I fear, imposed upon the hospitality of your family. Please implore my brother to jot off a note to his dear sister?Or if he will not, I humbly beg you to write a few lines as to the present state of his health & well-being. I do hope we shall have the pleasure of your company in Town this Season.
Yrs affecly,
L. Hughes
