Orestes thanks Henry for his letter as well for the weekly "Free Press". Henry's photographs came safe and has been very much admired. Orestes is now having his turn of sick children. His Louisa Brownson is very sick with measles. If Henry has time and feels disposed, an article from Der Lindes' chess book would be quite welcome. Orestes finds much trouble reading German and some of the other languages are a sealed book to him. He has commenced a couple of correspondece games with the good Father Henry J.H. Schutjes . The last game he had was with Andres of the New York chess club who called on Orestes last spring. The times are now very hard for Orestes, otherwise all is well. :: III-3-a A. L. S. 1p. 8vo.
