Mrs. O'Connor writes Mrs. Channing that you are in New York—I write you, on a forlorn
hope, to offer you our best welcome if any thing should induce you to turn Eastward.
We have to offer entertainment, not brillieant brilliant
, but quiet & unconstrained. You would find some few persons here whom I think you would
like to meet. To balance this on the other side is all New York! All for which I can
really answer is the sincere desire to see you here in a home-like way– I think we
have a home that is worth something, & that we gladly open to you.
Will you not visit us?
Yrs truly Wm. F. Channing
