Dear The—
In Chicago I had a talk with Dr. D’Unger, the famous curer of drunkenness & he gave me a pamphlet which I shall enclose to you. Now you write to him, mention my name, tell him I told you to do it, & buy a bottle of this stuff & try it on Perry. im I talked with some of the first people in Chicago, Generals in the army, &c, & they all spoke out cordially & said there was no question about it, this man’s stuff has permanently cured hundreds of Chicago drunkards. You might save Perry—it is worth trying.
All well here—love to you all.
Yrs
Sam

Sometime before 1939 the MS was purchased by businessman William T. H. Howe (1874–1939). In 1940 Dr. Albert A. Berg bought and donated the Howe Collection to NN.
