He offers alternative availability for a gala in Paris between October 14-24, 2010, or in New York between March 11-20, 2011. He also mentions he is no longer living in London and expresses willingness to find other dates in Paris later the following year if the proposed periods don't work. The email concludes with a respectful closing and is noted as sent from an iPhone.

Writing amidst the Cholera epidemic, Rebecca tries to alleviate her sister-in-law Maria's fears and shares advice on diet, including a recipe for rice pudding. She also tells of the dramatic circumstances under which an acquaintance gave birth.

Writing to her sister-in-law Maria, Rebecca compares her own and her niece's outlook on life and tells of a Christian woman's hope to convert her. She also commends her brother Ben for purchasing two female slaves to remove them from their dire circumstances.

Rebecca writes to her sister-in-law Maria, hoping for a visit. She also gives updates on family and friends, expresses her admiration for a charitable widow, and critiques the fanfare surrounding the visits of prominent public figures.
