R. Warren Weston would like to have "the will" returned. He comments about the will's author: "I can hardly realise the meaness [sic] of the man. What could he have been thinking about." R. Warren Weston has been miserable for three days with pain and various troubles. "I think one year more will bring me to the end of my string." The house seems deserted except for the immediate family. He comments on Seward's going to Fort Munrow to meet the rebel commanders: "I hope he won't commit any darn folly..." R. Warren Weston remarks on the strangeness of Elizabeth Bates Vandewyer's never having written a to him.
Includes an envelope with the delivery address: Miss D. Weston, Weymouth, Mass'tts.
