My Dears
You had a line from me as I left.
I came safely, with some suffering, to
H. H^d. Jacksonville & here, & go tonight
to Fernandina & Savannah—Am better
now. Will be home D.V. soon after 1^st
Augt—You will I suppose return to the
house on the 1^st, or then abouts—This, prob-
-ably is the best plan, unless Anna M.
has a house for you in B.lyn—Mr Coles
said a man would take the house off our
hands on 1st Augt if we wished—Do as
you think best. If you are not to be in
J City by 1^st of the month, please drop a
line to Mr Cole saying he must wait a few
days until I get home for the rent.

As to money I forgot it for you. Tell
Chas. to advance you some, & I will pay him
interest on it, ie. if you have no oppor-
-tunity of sending to N.Yk.

Love & c In health
Yours as ever J. W. A
