Colonel Folsom

Sir

I went this day to the
office of Messrs Russell and
Richardson to make inquiry
in relation to Mount Auburn
Guides.

The balance
of their last edition was destroyed
by the Boston fire on the 9th of
November last. In relation
to a new edition I found them
undecided, they say they have as
much business on hand as they
can attend to properly and would
be glad to sell out. The plates
were at the printers office and
were saved. I regard it as very
uncertain whether or not they
will publish a new edition this
Spring

T. H. Safford.
