Summary

Letter addressed to G. G. Ducarel detailing the ills that has befallen the family since his departure, including the fact that the stipend that was supposed to come from the office of John Shore has stopped. The letter is clearly a follow-up to earlier letters, imploring for the issues to be kindly addressed as the situation has continued to worsen.

Notes

• This is a single page, burnished and with a very little gold dust sprinkled on the paper. There must also have been silver dusted onto the page which has since tarnished, explaining the otherwise dusty appearance. This letter seems to be the first part of a longer letter; there is no signature. This one has not yet been translated.
