I am as well as usual today. Mr Noyes [Ephraim Noyes]
has just returned from Santa Cruz, and is
better, and I hope he will now continue to
enjoy good health.

Our business during the past week has
averaged to pay us very well, and Mr Noyes
is very well satisfied with the doings of myself
and Mr Millet during his absence --

At any rate, we done, as well as we could
do and attended to business closely --

Mr Stone wrote me something with
regard to a Miss Soshrop. At first I thought
he meant the teacher at Maple Wood -- Miss
Hildrip, but was glad to find that what
he wrote did not apply to Miss H --

I have not heard from Sam Tucker
as yet since April last, but presume he
is well as usual and doing well --

Mr Shipley is well also, much better
than he has been for several months past
and I am glad that such is the case
for he has been a kind friend to me ever
since I first arrived here in this country

His advice is always good, and he is
always willing to give it, whenever I ask it --

Please give my love to Chas. [Charles] & Harriet
and to all my friends. I will not close my
letter until tomorrow morning, so if I receive
your letter I will let you know it. Accept
my love, and best wishes for your future health
and prosperity from your affct [affectionate] Son
H. A. Parker [Henry A. Parker]
