Dearest friend

Bee's card rec'd​ this morning—glad & thankful to hear all is going well with you—have abstained from coming over, for fear of being in the way—but hope I may come soon—Mannahatta and Jessie went off in the 11:45 train from Phil:​ to-day—in good spirits, & excellent well, and have had a jolly good visit both to you & yours & over here—My sister is well—She went over with the girls to the depot—saw them off safely, & returned to dinner—No further news rec'd​ by me from Herby—I am well as usual—doing nothing particular—
