Dear Sir

Our State Fair opens here on
the 23^d inst, & continues to the 26^th inclusive
My family & myself would be highly
gratified to have your Father &
family, yourself included visit on the
the occasion. We will do every
thing in our power to render your
stay with us pleasant. Please
write & let us know your conclusion.

I have been very busy of late

completed much to our satisfaction
and our institution is now on a
better footing than ever before.
