always have done thus far since my arrival
in California. It is also a pleasure to me, to write
you but I do not think my letters, can prove
as acceptable to you, as your letters do to me
still I do not doubt but what you are always
happy to hear from me, so I shall continue to
write you often. I was very happy to hear, (as I
did do) by way of Miss Lewis that you were
all well, and getting along as well as usual
with all your affairs. Miss L. wrote that she
had commenced her school and that she likes
it very well. She praises Harriet up, a great
deal and considers her first, of all her scholars.
Says she should like forty scholars just like her

I hope she will enjoy good health through
the summer and be able to attend school reg-
ularly, for I consider Miss L. an excellent Teacher

As for Charles I suppose he will remain at
home this summer and attend to your out-
door affairs, work a little at farming &c, and
as he attended school so closely last summer, I
dare say he would like a vacation this summer
and as he is always disposed to do what is right
you will of course allow him him, to do just
about as he likes in regard to remaining
away from school. If Mr Perry had remained
in town, probably C. woud [would] liked very well to have
gone to school there, but if I remember rightly he
is not very partial towards the Academy.

Aug. 15th the Clipper Ship "Stag Hound" arrived here yesterday after a passage
of 109 days from New York. She looks as nice as when I left New York in her.

I almost forgot to write that I was as well today as usual.

The mail leaves here tomorrow for the Atlantic States and the
mail from there is now fully due which I hope will contain
two letters for me from you.

Your Son
