  1874 Dear Pete,

I hope you will be able to come, as you said in your last—If I knew when & where you would arrive in Philadelphia, I would try to meet you—As I wrote you before you must come to Market st. ferry Philadelphia, a mile and half, or 2 miles from RR depot, & cross over by boat to Federal st Camden—(The Phil.​ horse cars run Sundays—run down to foot of Market st—but the Camden ones do not—but it is not very far from the ferry in Camden.)

 

I am very much the same—My being disabled & want of Exercise for 16 months, (and many other wants too,) have saddled me with serious dyspepsia & what the doctor calls gastric catarrh, very obstinate, causing me really more suffering & pain than my paralysis—but though I have bad spells enough, thank God I also have middling good ones—& as I write this have just had my dinner, nice salt oysters, raw, fresh & am feeling quite comfortable—Dear son, I shall look for you

Walt
