re: 1841 stampless cover from Bellefonte

Could you show a scan of the entire front?
I have a small collection of Bellefonte covers and FLS (folded letter sheets). Most are concerning legal matters and are from prominent citizens at the time. My most interesting cover which I don’t own but do have a scan (I was the under bidder) concerns a runaway slave. I’ll post the scans later today.

re: 1841 stampless cover from Bellefonte

interesting letter.
I tried to read what it said, most you had already transcribed. After "befriend" you put a question mark. I found that the old meaning of the word is probably appropriate here: according to what I read, it is typically used when a person offers support to someone in difficulties, rather like the good Samaritan and that seems to be the case here.

The first word you could not read is considerable, I think.
