Summary
Concerning the health of Alexander's "Mammina," Lucia Gray Swett Alexander, and thanking Severn for her sympathy in the loss of an unnamed "dear old friend." Responding to Mr. Wedderburn's request for "letters, which [Alexander] treasure[s] as most precious relics, [and which] must never be separated nor any of them made public, nor allowed to pass into other hands, as long at least as [Alexander] live[s]." Noting that she has "had applications of this kind, and always [has] made the same answer:" that it is "impossible."
