Dear Sir,
The letter under cover has remained in this Office unclaimed for a considerable time—We know not where to send it to meet its address—I have therefore thought it most advisable to return it to you. I should have mentioned that it has been advertised.
I embrace this occasion to renew to you the Assurance of my sincere respect and regard.
