cor West. 75? Camden,
N. Jersey June 25. Dear boy Pete,
I have weathered it out pretty well this week—at present moment am sitting here cover'd with sweat, with nothing on but shirt & pants—to-day & yesterday the very hottest kind—I suppose you have it too.
—Pete there is nothing new in my case, & no prospect more than usual of anything sudden—but it seems pretty clear
that there is no substantial recovery probable, (hardly possible,) for me—how long it will last this way it is
of course impossible to tell—I take it all without growling—things are steadily growing worse with me—But I must not worry you—& may-be there is something more favorable ahead—I busy myself a little every day writing—I want to fix my books in a little better shape, this summer—partly busy with a new volume—so that they will all be comprised in Two Vols. —(not very much really new matter, but some)—
So you dont don't come on to Balt , now, (as I take it from your last)—Love to you, dear son.
WaltLove to Mr. & Mrs. Nash—do you ever see Mrs. O'Connor or Eldridge?—Is Tasistro still around?
