glad to see me but of course that soon wore off and in less than two months I got a chance to work in Worcester at a Grocery

writings in papers and books and one of the NY papers had a long piece also you pictures My daughter saw it first and brought

that they know you most as well as I I was not surprised to hear that John Smith was dead he was older than he looked to be
I would like to see George Kinney? I sometimes think I will take a trip out there and see what is left of old friends and
see what Changes there are When you write me again you must give me more particulars about Hutching how does it happen that
he has had four 6 and as I have given you as complete a history as I can and I will say that my best wishes accompany
