"John J. Audubon
Edinburgh 31st, January, 1827
My Dear Sir,
I have felt, and do yet extremely anxious and much at odds to know why I have not heard from Mr. Wm. Rathbone Lately - so much so that I dread writing to him directly fearing that either illness or some other ______ has prevented him from doing so. I forwarded My Journal to him by the Mail coach on the 8th. instant - am the 13th. Dec. I send him a Box of ________ , and a packet of Letters and papers for My Wife the receipt of which I have no acknowledgement yet although I haven't ___________ requested it - are they lost or is he sick or unhappy? Please call at his office Com Hill and inquire, and let me know at once - I received to day 3 letters from home they came thru his care - please again inquire if they have received 2 packages or Parcels from Mrs. Audubon shipped to Him from N. Orleans November last - Since you left I have played the Deuce with the Canvas as you will see when you return.
Pray believe your Most Sincerely
John J. Audubon
