My dear Mr. McQuesten,

When I last saw you I quite forgot to ask if you would care for the loan of a few top notch goods, such as a table for writing upon; a chair a small corner washstand and set of bedroom crockery all very plain, and of no such value except as a matter of convenience. The articles which we have here, are very much at your service if required but if not, pray have no hesitation in saying no. I shall understand perfectly.

Yours very sincerely

Emily Macleod Moore¹
