and belongs somewhere about Cape Cod.

He has a wife and child here. His wife is a very
fine woman -- one who is very generally liked --

They both I believe belong at the same place and
are real "Yankees" although "Zalucar" may be a foreign
name, -- I believe I have now given you a
clearer account of my business than I have
ever done before since I have been in California
and you will greatly oblige me by keeping the
above information "all in the family" as Pepperell
folks always have, and probably do now, pretend to
know all about our business, but I do not intend
to let them know enough about my affairs, to make
them any wiser for it -- I have written nothing about
my business to Mr Tucker more than what I was
obliged to, although he has often requested me to do so

He does not know that I even have bought
into any vessels, that I know of and I shall probably
write him nothing about it as I cannot see as I
should benefit anyone by so doing ----

I am sorry that Charles finds it so difficult
to write me but I expect he intends to treat me
the same as he would "his girl". "Wait until he
sees me." I do hope however that he will write me
once more, and if I was at home I would try and
help him to do so. Please give my love to him and
Harriet, and my kind regards to Uncle and Aunt, Willie
Mrs. Betsey Tucker and all the rest of my friends --

From Your very affct [affectionate] Son
H. A. Parker [Henry A. Parker]
