Monday morning My dear Sir, I Know you are above the / littlenefs of professional coquetry, and / you will therefore understand correctly / my advice to you not hastily to commit / yourself to Geneva. Do not let it go entirely, / but wait a little while to see what door / Providence may open here. I had a talk / last evening with P. G. S. about St. Marks / + you. Something may come of it, better / than Geneva. This in inter nos, except / of course as to Mrs. Irving. Yours very truly, F. L. Hawks [END OF PAGE 1] [ADDRESS] The Rev. Pierre P. Irving Bond Street.
