Letter of thanks for the birthday gift and discusses local crime.
Captain William Noble thanks Ernest for the kind birthday note and gift (a book small enough to fit in Noble's waistcoat.) Noble also describes local crimes such as the capture of Mr Peace. Though ripped back page with half missing (little wax seal left) the letter is intact.
