The envelope in which the letter was sent is with the collection. Also included is a handwritten and signed note dated 28 May 1892 in which Brooks states that the manuscript, "Take a Walk," is "Just the thing." With the collection is a biography of Brooks clipped from a newspaper and a portrait of him clipped from a magazine.
