You will see an account, in the paper which I shall
send Charles, of the death, at Honolulu S. I. of Edmund
P. Hutchinson of Pepperell. It appears that he died
twenty days after his arrival there from Boston --

Poor fellow! Instead of regaining his health as he hoped
to do, he only left home to die among strangers in a
strange land.

Mr. William Walton will leave here tomorrow,
accompanied by his wife and one child, on a visit
of a few months, to the Atlantic States.

He would willingly take this letter to you, but I
think I will not trouble him with it for you will
receive it as soon, if not sooner, if I send it by
mail, than you would if I sent it by him. --

Large handbills have been posted about the streets
this week announcing that a certain firm in this city
were prepared to sell nice, dry sound Potatoes for 20 cts per
bushel -- Cheap enough for California.

There are plenty of chestnuts now in market brought
from the Atlantic States which sell readily at retail for
$1.00 a pound or 25 cts for a small tumbler full. They
do not taste much however like chestnuts at home al-
though they are very good. Wishing you all health and
happiness I remain

Your affectionate Son
H. A. Parker [Henry A. Parker]

Mrs. Ann Parker E Pepperell Mass
