          light up on his history? Did he bring you any letters from Europe? 
I suppose it is hardly possible that he can be the individual 
refered [referred] to in the notice which I enclose and which I cut from a 
Louisville paper of this date. If he has spent the interim between 
his disappearance in Tennessee and arrival at Marion, Ala. 
in making love to a lady and then deserting her, it would make 
him [added: much] more worthy of our execration than his running off with 
a few hundred dollars.

Do you ever hear of a good friend Carey? As 
soon as I heard of his intended return to England, I wrote to him 
expressing my sorrow at his leaving. This letter could not have 
reached New-York before he left it, and I do not know that it was 
forwarded to him. At all events I have received no communication 
from him since his arrival in London.

Very truly, my dear Sir, 
I am yours,
C.W. Short
