My dear Son,
I have your letter of
yesterday – glad to believe that
you are well – I have had
numberless unexpected causes
of detention but hope to get
started Monday or Tuesday.
we go by then. Fanny

speeches are a tax upon the
brain which should not be
too often repeated — Fred

near election – he will not
be able I fear to go any part

like to have father make the journey
twice – He is to go to Saratoga

we are nearer – Mr McLallen

years – Mr. Bowen

of you, in a letter to father, in
a complimentary manner & says
he has been trying to get you to
