To Mr. John Edwards, Esq.
Mr. John Edwards, Esq.
No. 7 Thackeray Row
I once again find myself in need of your sage advice, dear Jack. If the snow does not deter you, please meet me at the Parham House club tonight after supper? I have something to speak of I dare not put into a letter, and my excitement over the opportunity I have been given may be clouding my judgment. I need your cool head and knowledge of society once again, but perhaps soon I may at last repay you for all the kindnesses you have visited upon a poor specimen such as myself. The Company is seeking to employ me, yet every answer they give raises more questions. More than that I cannot say until we speak. I await your reply.
Respectfully,
Robert Meriweather
