Summary
Enclosing (not present) a detailed list of the second portion of the Thackeray-Brookfield correspondence, and discussing the importance of the letters. Mentioning that the only letters Mrs. Brookfield has retained are very personal in nature and remarking that it is unlikely that they will be able to acquire any more from her; hoping, however, that they will be able to acquire the letters addressed to Miss Perry. Saying that if he decides to purchase this set of letters, payment may be deferred until January 1.
