Description

Letter from W. E. C. Eustis written in Boston dated July 4, 1882. The letter, written to an unidentified individual, discusses previous correspondence and the recipient's plans to return. Eustis writes that he does not believe it is a good idea for the individual to return so soon and that he is sorry to hear their health is poor. Portions of the Eustis's handwriting are missing, seemingly due to the letter being cut on the left side. As such, some context is lost from the correspondence.
