Notes
Part of a collection of letters from William Makepeace Thackeray to George D. Smith. Letters in this collection have been described individually in separate catalog records; see collection level record for more information.
The lower right edges of the paper have been torn off and thus it is unknown to what manuscript Thackeray is referring in the postscript.
There is a penciled note, in an unknown hand, at the top of the page indicating the date to be "28 Jan;" the probable year of writing is from the published letter.
