My love also to Cousin Mary F. -- If Sam does
as well in New York, as he did in Boston, how long
will it be before he will be able to return with
a fortune? I do hope however that he will do
well, which he no doubt can do, if he wishes to,
without coming to California --

You say Mrs Blany intends to leave Pepperell
for the winter at least. Have they sold their
place? I am afraid that you and Hattie
will miss them very much, as you seem to
esteem their friendship very highly. For that
reason, if no other, I hope they will
still consider P. their home --

I am pleased to hear that Mrs. B. Tucker [Betsey Tucker]
and Lizzie are well, not only on their own
account, but partly on account of Sam, for
if he knows they are well and comfortably
situated he will feel more contented while
he remains here, and consequently can do
better. He will be pleased with their min-
iatures, and I hope he will get them safely.

My regards to "Grammama Wright and Mrs Kendall,
Tell them I am well. If Thos G. Lawrence [Thomas G. Lawrence] is at
Michigan Bluffs he is not a very great distance
from here! Still I have never seen or heard
from direct since he first arrived in the
country. I have not heard from Sam since
I last wrote you, but presume he is well
