Feeling pretty easy for me, cool sunny splendid weather to-day—bowel operations the last ten days better than a long, long time—but lassitude & head ache continue—Dr L[ongaker] comes ab't every three days—O'D[onovan] the sculptor comes daily—R Moore and Reinhalter the tomb builder here to-day—I paid R. $1000 more (making 1500 altogether so far—the bill for tomb is 4000)—I do not complain—may send you a pict there—possibly not ready tho—rec'd yours f'm Britannic am July 8—Ingersoll is off west—Horace is flourishing—expect to ride out with him & Annie to-morrow—Warry had a good trip to N Y—got back that evn'g to give me my massage—every thing goes on boiling & bubbling here in U. S.—Pres't Harrison retreated to sea side Cape May for seven or eight weeks (what a wise move!) & the hot season is sliding away—specially prosperous agriculture & crop season all over U S—solid basis for all.
