Water Commissioner. St. Louis, Sept. 11th 1885 My dear Walt
Enclosed please find check for $10—payable to your order This check is sent by Mr Chaphe he is so much pleased with his books.
We are getting on about in the usual manner—all well—I am pretty busy—but still hope to get away long enough to make you all a visit
Weather here just perfect for the last few days—Hat and Jess doing the "Exposition" which has just opened—they say tis first class
Glad to see that you are all right again—saw a little notice in last evenings paper stating the fact—
Have just received a telegram from Horace Tarr of New York (Mr Lane's nephew) stating that he would call on me to-day—shall be glad to see him—
All send love
Jeff
