She is now getting much stouter & ... will be at all times happy" to receive "one who is ... the friend of Yours most sincerely", with on the conjugate leaf Mrs Maxwell's invitation "any morning" except two times when she superintends her daughter's dancing lesson, together 2 sides 8vo., no place, 20th January top of conjugate leaf removed, probably without loss
