My Dear Alexander,
You have seen an 
announcement of Mr. Cooper's death
in the papers, no doubt. 
I wish you would do 
me the favor to procure a copy 
of [news] paper & the weekly 
paper containing [...] of 
his life & send them to me. 
I think of performing a short 
[biography] of Mr. Cooper & all 
these things assist. [News] 
papers cannot be [found]
here. I dislike trusting you
in this matter but have no
choice except to, [go] [without] the 
papers. Give my love to your
mother & Margaret & Julia.

Very truly Yr friend
Ro: Tyler
