http://hdl.handle.net/10407/7952218475

From Nice, Kate Malcolm writes to her friend, Adam Sedgwick (1785-1873), Professor at Trinity College in Cambridge, England and apologizes for not writing sooner. After noting that the French revolutionaries have interfered with her family's travel plans, she uses the opportunity to introduce her friend, Mr. Lacaita, and hopes that Professor Sedgwick will extend Mr. Lacaita every courtesy, including a tour of the University and the use of the libraries there.
