Wheeler writes to Mr. Ayres, in part: “I am glad to be able to enclose the letter you suggested. I have been in the East New York to the Adirondacks for a month & it was my hope I would meet you then. I hope all is well with you & it will always give me pleasure to serve you & equally your noble & grand Step, no I mean ‘Forte Mother.’” Light creasing, two small areas of paper loss to the top and bottom of the hinge, and a few pencil notations, otherwise fine condition.
