This morning I received a long and welcome letter from Mrs. Stanford concerning your voyage and safe landing at Kissenden, and was further advised by your letter that the health of the entire party had thus far been benefitted by the trip.
I now think that you may look for another letter from me within the next ten or twelve days, after I have had a further consultation with Col. C. and others here. I have the pleasure of acknowledging your letter of the 11th, of June from Paris.
My family are in the country at Chrystal Springs, where they spent their vacation last season. They expect to return on the 7th [inst?] in time for their school, which opens a week later. They are all about in their usual good health.

Yours Truly,
[S. Gaye?]
