                        <p>This is a single-page letter. A small rectangular area on the
                            bottom-right side of the page where the closer and signature would
                            normally be positioned has been removed, presumably by cutting. On the
                            bottom-left corner, the words “from Miss Mulock” are written in an
                            unknown hand diagonally (bottom-left to top-right). The postscript to
                            this letter is written on the top of the page to the left of the
                            dateline. The writing is rotated counter-clockwise by 90 degrees. The
                            missing portion of the page suggests that Dinah's signature was either
                            kept or sold by the recipient (or by an unknown handler of this letter).
