Description
Chandler is unhappy that Jane hasn’t written in “about two months,” and pleads with Jane to write “oftener.” Chandler mentions his assessment fees and writes that he does not plan to get in any more debt if he can avoid it. Chandler has read about and makes allusion to a general economic depression in the States [the Panic of 1857]. Notations in pencil on the first page at the top read: “Rough going.” Pencil marks highlight certain parts of the text pertaining to the title.
