To C. Searle, recommending an out-of-court settlement in a legal case: "I was pleased sick with your letter and its tone; and shall be pleased if anything offers likely to suit you, to write you again. Meanwhile, if I might offer a counsel in the most-friendly spirit, it would be, not to embark on a doubtful litigation. Leaving altogether the merits of one case out of the question, it is always the better policy to keep out of law [...].
With embossed address, and traces of old mounting on the verso, slight brownstaining.
