Transcription: "Cedar Villa Kensington Jan 14. 1879 Sir, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your Drama, [Thos: a'Becket?] I regret to say that the work I have to do leaves me little leisure for merely literary study. I think you have hardly seized the grandeur and dignity of the great prelates character, and I would suggest to you the careful study of Luisand's History of the period, and of Mrs. Hope's life of Sr. [Thos. a Becket.] Aubrey de Vere's Tragedy might also interest you. Believe me to remain yours trule J. [Napel?] J.W.Brodie Innes Esq. Milton Brodie Forres N.B." Letter, signed by sender. Envelope included. Sent from Holly House, Barking, E.
