Addressed "Dear Sir" and possibly not originally to Irving who has no association with the address, which is written on the back of the folded note. John Baldwin Fosbroke, with same first names as Buckstone, published poems in 1872 & 1873. The letter might have been sent to Hezekiah Bateman? |

Watermark on paper is 1873 but it is possibly too early a date? 'Snap-dragon' - flaming raisins in brandy. |
