Context and background
The person to whom this letter is addressed is not identified, but it was almost surely Col. Olcott, as indicated in Letter No. 103B.

Physical description of letter
The original is in the British Library, Folio 3. George Linton and Virginia Hanson described the letter this way:
ML 91A is in blue pencil on a small sheet of note paper with rough edges, 5" X 7" [12.7 X 17.8 cm]. Heavy KH script.[1]
