As you see I am still here—but I leave for Camden next Saturday—I still keep ab't the same as when I last saw you—The Johnstons all well—The Gilchrists sailed last Saturday in the Circassia—
—I send you the "Tobacco Plant" with a piece of mine will
interest you—(you'll see I have used one of your letters of last winter)—How nicely those English get up their print
things—
—This has been a good visit for me—it sort o' rehabilitates me for speaking & literary handling, writing, off-hand, more than I anticipated—half-paralytic as I am—henceforth I feel more at ease, more self confidence—which is always half the battle—
I hope 'Sula is comfortable this hot weather (very hot here to-day)—& the
babe —When you write direct to Camden—I send Smith a paper, with my love
