My Dear"[Jnifs?]"
I read yours yesterday but was kept(by business)from answering till now.
I have come to the conclusion that a noncompliance with your request would be a crime. Especially of my not refraining will afford you the pleasure you mentioned. I thankfully---- enclose(with my best wishes for your future) a fraction of my humble self. I start next Saturday for"[Korlove?]".
With all respect I remain yours to command
J.W.B.
