Dear Sir
I Enclose / herewith the “Irving Last Letter”, / as pr your request.
I feel as if this is a very small / price for this letter. And I ca n/ only say that if this is really / the last letter of Irving, and I / believe it is, that you would be / very unwise to sell it for any / such price as speak of. I would / not sell it over against for twice / the price I et for it.
But, offer when once made, / I believe should be respected. /
I will now say that I will give / you $20 for it Truly yours
Morton Havens
