The above date is not much account to you Canadians, though a whole heap to us. I
hope you and doctor Buck Bucke
will not have another fight of coarse you will want
to celebrate the day we swore vengence vengeance
against him and his ancesters ancestors
, though I guess he has forgot it all now, anyhow give him my kind
regards—the weather has been long warm about two weeks. You know that we had
commenced a new depot when you left, well now it is beginning to lume up one span of the 400
feet by 180—is about finished and looks huge, if you stay away all summer you wont won't
know the place when you come back you will remember that we had a new
Rail Road under way running to Atlantic City, it is finished and such crowds that
went down yesterday you never saw before we never had such a rush on the Ferry
before 4 men in the ticket office could not sell the tickets fast enough, it
requires 3 collectors to take up the Ferry tickets with hard work that is Phila side you know. I saw old
Col Johnson and Doctor Ridge last night they were blowing for Gen Hancock Doctor Ridge says he has been to New York and that New York city
will give Hancock one hundred thousand majority people think that he will go in with
a rush

I guess that you know Gen Hancock may be, though I suppose you don't vote for him I don't think (Garfield) is not strong. I hear them say that your friend J W Forney has come out for Hancock with the press I don't know—we have received several papers from you, one about yourarival arrival in London and a very good account of you us US fellows your friends were pleased with it and also your letter about your wanderings that you gave the paper. The paper in our opinion is a good one well Edited rather more spicy than our Phil journals

The boys read your little postal cards with much pleasure, all being delighted to hear from you Hiskey is all the same, and Charley Walton and Bill Clark would send their love if they new knew I was writing, we wish you may have a pleasant time all through and not get sick like you did before I expect that Ontario is a good place in summer I wonder if it is not cold next winter there however you will be home before the winter comes I am going up to Col Johnsons Johnson's tonight, Maggie goes to Delaware this week to spend some time
Resp yours E Lindell
