Kenedy received Timon's letter through Mr. Rozier. They were surprised to hear of James' death. Eleanor took it to heart very much. Father is well and they hope to hear of Timon's mother's recovery. A son born about three weeks ago has been christened Ambrose. The three oldest children go to school. They pay $13.50 rent for their house. Business was very slack during the winter. Eleanor had an attach of typhus fever about 6 months ago. Stereotyping three small books, The Christian's Guide, American Songster, and Letter Writer cost him about $350. Timon's cousins, Kitty Kelly, Mary Russell, Rose, and Eleanor are well except for Mrs. Russell's old complaint. John Owings sends respects. Father Edward Damphoux is abridging a work for Kenedy called Christian Perfection. Kenedy lists the books he is sending to Timon. The bill amounts to $100 and the box is directed care of Timothy Davis and Company. A railroad is to be commenced between Baltimore and Washington. Howard Woods is fenceless and a great portion dug away for sand; a new market place is to be where the old poor house stood. The largest hotel is finishing at the corner of Eutaw and Market Street. On Pratt Street the fronts of warehouses and stores are being replaced by granite pillars. Kenedy has a friend, Levi Taylor, a stone cutter, who endorses for him; he is an old acquaintance of Kenedy's father's. Bernard Coskery often inquires about the family as does Connolly, the button maker. Kenedy hopes Timon will come to Baltimore as he was the only junior branch of the family they were most attached to. He is glad that Mr. Daly is well? and that brother Owen is doing well. Timon is to ask Daly what has become of Patt Gorman or whether he got his watch. Mary Matilda thanks Timon for his kind expressions. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
