Dallas writes from the Legation of the United States thanking the recipient for sheet music composed for a poem lauding the Atlantic Cable. "I very much fear that the music is too good for the rhymes, or for their abortive subject". (2) Written on page one of the four integral pages, 8" x 9.75", December 2, 1849, n.p.. Dallas refers to "the department of Mr. Dickens already overstocked." Conservation tape on the left of the first letter and docketing on page four of the second letter. Both are fine.More Information:
