Last leaf only of Autograph Letter Signed ('H. Law') to 'Mr. F<?>'.

12mo, 2 pp, 23 lines. The second leaf of a bifolium. Good, on lightly aged paper, with three small tissue mounts still adhering to a margin. Commenting on a legal matter relating to the recipient: '[...] there is the further difficulty tht except where the family so desire and a special case is made for it, the County Chancery will not generally speaking allow any of its wards to be taken out of its jurisdiction. [...] I wd. gladly help you if I could - but [...] I am powerless in the matter.' Regarding the 'unfortunate condition of affairs in Ireland', Law is one of those who 'are not without confident hope tht things will ere long settle down - and life be as safe & pleasant here as in any other party of the world.'
