[page 1] Dear Mr. Fields.
I had half a mind to address you as Mr. J. T. Fields. in return for your "Miss S. J. Clarke." One night know you for a newly married man by this sudden accession of dignity. But I'll not +++ it. However you may have grown in your own consideration and in that of society in general you are about the same individual in my eyes, as before
[page 1 added vertically and on top] I wrote to Mr. Ticknor about the piano. Is it finished and on the way?
[page 2] that late most happy and momentous event. your note reached me on the 20th. I wrote immediately to Willis respecting the portrait. Had you not better drop him a line. He told me when I was in N.Y. that you could have the picture at any time
I should think there need be no delay in getting it for our purpose. If I am not in Boston by the last of May I will send on the math for the volume by express, and
[page 3] correct the first proofs for Washington or Philadelphia.— If I do not leave for the East as soon as I anticipate it will be on account of my health which is greatly broken down this spring. My love to Mr. Ticknor and the Whipples. and. and to. Oh I +++ my love to—Oh I'm a fiend [?]!— to. to. May I now?— May I offer my love to Mrs Fields?
Ever most earnestly yours.
Grace
