Dear Father
We
sail to day, on
Steamer “George Law,” which connects at the isthmus with the John L. Stevens. We are well &
Chittenden has found 2 or 3 old Californians with whom we shall go in
company.
Business is good here
at
present & Wall street feeling better than a few months since.Broadway
is as thronged every
day but Sunday as if they had some “State
fair.”
I have
been to
see several
places of note among which is the “Crystal Palace,”
Brookly hights Exchange, Washingtons old head quarters & many
others. Chit sends by B W Brooks of Columbus 3 Dagaureotypes the
largest one for Mother, & one for Aunt Sallie & Aunt
Delia. It is quite cool here & he needs your overcoat so takes
it along.
Breakfast
is ready
& I must close. will write at the isthmus.
Love to all, excuse
Chit, To dark to see the lines And we are so busy have no time to write
more. Uncle Elias’ folks all well.
Yours
Truly
H.
