  Dear Bee

Your letter came an hour ago, & we have all read it with deepest interest—praying that all will go well with your dearest mother—& having no doubt it will—Hattie has been quite unwell for two nights, & yesterday—a sort of Cholera morbus & fever—but is pretty well to-day,—is dress'd​ & down stairs again—the rest all well—

—I rec'd​ a letter from Herby—he said he had written to you all, at the same time with mine—He had arrived at Esopus, & was having good times—

 

—As I was down by the market here three hours ago I met Mr Stafford, & have had a talk & a short ride with him—he came up with a load of cabbages, which he sold, & has just started for home—All are well, (although Mrs S is hardly so, either, I think overworked & too much tasked & nervous)

—I have rec'd​ I think from Edw'd​ Carpenter the Daily News (London) with a long very fine resumé-article on Thiers—which I will bring or send you, for yourself & (by & by) your mother's reading—

—I am feeling comfortable—go out some hours every day, enjoying the fine Sept:​ weather—

Affectionately W.W.
