Camden, N. Jersey, Jan. 7.
Am feeling better than during Nov. and first part of Dec —strength better than for a long time—rec'd the Springfield Rep[ublican] this morning—(is it from you or Ch[arley]?)—That ¶ in the T[ribune] was the most flourishing puff yet given me—& from them!—A leaden, heavy day here, with sulky rain & some snow & sleet—I have to stay in, but am feeling comfortable.
