Auburn Jun 20.
My dear brother,
I have worked along here until I can be absent from Albany no longer
My business is much straightened and looks better. I wanted to go to Chautauqua
but the business East does not yet permit. I think it will in the month of July.
Will you on receiving this come to Auburn, call at the clerks off Auburn. Ask for
any papers ready for me at the Clerk's office, at Nelson Beardsly
and bring T. D. Jones
I think we can close all here so that I can return with you to
Chautauqua or follow you.
Frances
leave her and go East.
One two or three days is not material in your coming to Albany.
Your affectionate brother
Henry.
