Dear Sir:
I write for the purpose of ascertaining whether you would write an article for the North American Review on the a subject of which I shall speak to you when I have an interview with you. Could you make it convenient to call at the office of the North American Review between the hours of eleven and one, P.M., before you leave town? Or appoint some time outside of those hours at which I could call upon you?
Very truly yours | James Redpath [signature]2
The following is written in pencil on page 2 in an unknown hand:
There rolls the deep where grew the tree.
O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
There where the long street roars, hath been
The stillness of the central sea.
The hills are shadows, and they flow
From form to form, and nothing stands;
They melt like mist, the solid lands,
Like clouds they shape themselves and go
