Dear Mr. Parker

Your note shall be private – & burned. For answer to it: I should be very glad to write for you: but it is not possible.

As much as I can write – (which is very little comparatively – on account of health & a morbid terror of “writing myself out” – ) but as much as I can write always goes to Hurst & Blackett: nor would I think it right to leave them, while we agree together so well as we now do . –

Many thanks therefore for your thought of me: – & if I had the time, health, & brains of two people instead of this one DMM you should have had a different answer. –

Yours very sincerely DMMulock Greenock – October 15th 57 1857 .
