I have rec'd your letter, & the paper with acc't of Mr. Huntington's death—it seems a sudden & sorrowful thing—Pete I shall continue here another week—I see you are working appears quite steady—I continue pretty well—Mother is middling—

This last two days the weather has been real pleasant—I have been out most of the time—It is now between 4 and 5—I am writing this up in my room home—am going out, & over to New York this evening—nothing special to write about—
Pete, my darling boy, I have been writing some long letters on business &c —& feel very little like writing—so I will just dry up for this occasion—here is a good buss to you dear son from your loving Father always—
