It is addressed toa \"Mr. Gilbert\".

As best I can make out, it reads as follows:

Mr. Gilbert,

Dear Sir- will you let this matter

lie over a day or so- my wife was

taken sick & I had to go into the country

with her & only returned late yes-

terday- I will let you hear from

me early in the week

Morgan

(no doubt I have gotten a few words wrong)

There is some writing in faint ink on the reverse

side,probably by the unidentified Mr. Gilbert.

The letter is in good condition, with a spot wornthrough

nextto the salutation, and some generalwear.

It is enclosed ina clear plastic page, for protection.

The letter is an interesting relic of 19th century New York,

with a very nice connection to 21st century New York.
