I hav been three days writing this
and now must bring it to a
hasty conclusion I anticipated
blotting three or four sheets for
you benefite (it shall be done
at some future time, I go to
Buffalo for "Nellie" tomorrow morning
Heard that M^cIntire was there
hope to meet him. give my kind
est regards to all. bear my sym-
pathy to Charlie whom I hope is
quite recovered ere this. And
please stoop for me to a display of
Vulgar affection by hugging &
kissing all my "Angel Cousins" in
the most affecting manner possible

Good bye, Bob [drawing of a bug]

Will Welch

PS.
I am so driven that it became nessesary
for me to write lots of notes instead of letters
to my friends urge all to come, and be sure to come you-
-rself. Will
