- Summary
- Did Morris' fatigue at writing in cypher keep him from giving news of friends? As new cypher may not have arrived, he transmits a message in the old cypher (not decipherable). Jay extols the goddess of Experience-he would write poems in her honor./On the reverse of the letter is an inscription indicating that the letter was sent to Peter A. Jay with the notation that Peter would one day prize all the writings from his father's pen./
