Transcription

Bennis has waited on Sloane a few times, but has not had the opportunity to see him. As such, he leaves ‘the fungus’ and root along with this letter. He is departing for Ireland – he is a resident of Dublin – and is sorry he has not been able to kiss Sloane’s hand before his departure. He asks for any commands Sloane can think of and for his letters to be sent to the Dublin post office.
