as he does, for his wife writes that she
and the children are well, and are
well provided for, and we are doing
well here, so that he will be able to
send her money whenever she wants any

Since the first of this month our trade
has been better than it had been before
for several weeks, and I think we shall
be able to do well throughout the summer.

For a week past we have cleared free
from all our expenses, on an averadge [average] six
dollars apiece each day, which I consider
doing well when almost every one is com-
plaining of dull times. --

I have not heard from Sam Tucker [Samuel P. Tucker]
since last January, and I do not know
as he intends to write again, but hope
he will, and that, soon.

I saw Mr Shipley today. He is comfortably
well, as are all of my acquaintances here
in California. Please give my love to
Charles & Harriet, and to all my relations
and friends Mrs. Sawtelle, particularly, whenever
you see her. Hoping that you may long
continue to enjoy health &
I remain
Your affc [affectionate] Son H. A. Parker [Henry A. Parker]
