Auburn, June 15th 1853–
My dear Uncle,
I wrote to you about a week
ago and addressed my letter to the Astor
House: Since I have not heard from you;
I think it never reached you; I wish to
go to New Jersey in a few day’s; will you
please to send me some money to defray
the expenses of my brother

and myself.
