Description: Fanny Kemble writes an unnamed friend saying that she is unable to meet Mlle Bonhard. She mentions that she saw Willie yesterday who has been working on a pencil copy of a colored engraving of Jenny Lind. Kemble says she hopes Annie returned home "as much charmed with her visit to Brooklyn as the people there were with her." She goes on to say that she will be leaving New York for Albany this afternoon. The letter contains an embossing. The pages are torn.
