1 page, 8vo, on a bifolium, some minor ink smudging or staining, short tear to upper margin, tipped along upper margin to mount.
Regarding chimney maintenance: "The fire from my chimnies [sic] communicates to the Barons walls, and smoke breaks through the panels of his drawing room. Will you send somebody to examine my fireplaces and my neighbours? We may be all in ashes if we don't mind."
