I am down here spending a few days—Every thing continues very much the same—Our friends the S[tafford]s still at Glendale, farming & store-keeping—Mr and Mrs S. & all the boys & girls as usual—

Nothing very new with me—I suppose you have rec'd my pieces, slips, papers &c. sent the past winter—I rec'd your good letter ab't ten days ago—trust you are yourself again in sound health by this time—I believe I wrote last ab't my being somewhat unwell—got badly chill'd—felt the effects two months—am now pretty well over it, & expect to be as usual till next time—My brother & sister well—J[ohn] B[urroughs] is reading the proofs of new book Pepacton (the Indian name of a beautiful little river)—I am out in the woods a great deal—to-day mild but damp & cloudy—a little bird they call the rain-bird is singing softly & coyly on a bush over the road—
