The books sent by Henry to John have arrived and Orestes sends his thanks. Only Orestes' wife and three youngest children are left at home. He would be glad to have any of Henry's children spend some time on the farm, if Henry is willing. P.S. Orestes is busy with farm work, but soon will have return to his school. He hopes Henry's gout is better. He is in very good health himself. :: III-3-b A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
