FDV: "near the scene of the massacre of most of the jacobiters. The bird of promise in the case was the hen of the Doran's and what she was scratching looked uncommonly like a sheet of letterpaper of the eleventh of the fifth to dear which proceeded to mention Maggy well and everybody general health and well and lovely face of some gentleman and a parcel of cookycakes well and it was grand funeral Maggy and hopes to hear from with love from a large looking stain of tea. The stain, & that of tea, marks it at once as a genuine old Irish MS. Any photoist worth his chemicals will tell you that if a negative melts while drying the resultant positive will be a grotesque distortion of values, tones & masses. This freely is what must have happened to that missive unfilthed by the sagacity of a hen. The heat residence for who knows when in the orangeflavoured mound had dissolved the first impression and caused some features palpably near us to be swollen up grossly while the farther back we get the more we need the loan of a lens to see as much as the hen saw."

FDV2: "near the scene of the massacre of most of the jacobiters. The bird of promise in the case was the hen of the Doran's and what she was scratching looked uncommonly like a goodishsized sheet of letterpaper originating from Boston (Mass) of the eleventh of the fifth to dear which proceeded to mention Maggy well and everybody athome is general health well and a lovely face of some born gentleman with a parcel of cookycakes for tea well and must now close a grand funeral Maggy and hopes to hear from with love & four crosses from loving from a large looking stain of tea. The stain, & that of tea, marks it at once as a genuine relique of old Irish poetry. Any photoist worth his chemicals will tell you that if a negative melts while drying the resultant positive will be a grotesque distortion of values, tones & masses. This freely is what must have happened to that missive unfilthed by the sagacity of a slant eyed hen. Heated residence since nobody knows when in the orangeflavoured mound had partly dissolved the first impression and caused some features palpably nearer us to be swollen up most grossly while the farther back we seem to get the more we need the loan of a lens to see as much as the hen saw."
