Mr. William Charles Kent.
26, Wellington Street, Saturday, Oct. 19th, 1867.
My dear Kent,
In the midst of the great trouble you are taking in the cause of your undersigned affectionate friend, I hope the reading of the enclosed may be a sort of small godsend. Of course it is very strictly private. The printers are not yet trusted with the name, but the name will be, "No Thoroughfare." I have done the greater part of it; may you find it interesting!
My solicitor, a man of some mark and well known, is anxious to be on the Committee:
Frederic Ouvry, Esquire,
66, Lincoln's Inn Fields.
Ever affectionately yours.
P.S.—My sailor son!
I forgot him!!
Coming up from Portsmouth for the dinner!!!
