My Dear Mrs. Lewis, Your letter postmarked 1st inst reach ed me in due course with the enclosure for Mrs. C. which I read and dispatched to her with a few lines of my own on the same day - 3rd inst; - and I have several times been upon the point of replying but hitherto have been withheld either from be ing too busy or too tired with ever much writing; and if I can help it, I never write to a lady unless I am in good [trim?] for the task.
I am rather struck with your [?] um of "multum in parvo" as applica- ble to the last note I sent you as that is foreign to my general habit; - My style being [diffuse?], whilst that of my brother is in the opposite extreme of [?]. It was only recently I had a letter from him, in which, whilst reproving me for writing such long letters, he reminded me of a story related of an ancient friend of ours, now deceased, but for many years the leading American banker in London.
