I am also very sorry to hear of Caroline's ill-
health. I hope she will soon be well enough to go
to school. I am glad to hear little Henery is getting
along so well. tell him when his uncle Don comes

I am very sorry to hear of the Misfortune that
occurred to Henerys [Henery's] Mother it seems so hard
for a old lady of her age to be crippled more even
than a younger one.

I am not surprised at all of Henry and Jarvis
getting shaved by Peckham. I hope that account
of mine did not cause any trouble in the settle-
ment. tell Henry that I will write to him
on the fifteenth of this month as then I shall
then be in San Francisco and shall be able
to give better information in regard to the
country. I have traveled over the most of the North-

I can give pretty correct information in regard to
the mines but he wants to know of the cities
as well as the mines and I shall try to give
as correct and true a statement as possible.
