All right. I am glad you staid in Boston to look after the castings yourself. I hope you will accomplish your second su plate to-day, so that you won’t have to be in Boston next Wednesday; for we shall be at the Gilsey House Wednesday morning, & remain a day or two for Mrs. Clemens to do some shopping before proceeding to Hartford. I have been prodigiously interested in your Boston brass adventures, you may easily imagine. I am hoping for a telegram about the second plate to-day.

In this office I have just seen a fancy bill-head which I was sure was done by you, but the imprint on it was “J. H. Warner, 81 John street, New York.”

I left everybody well at Fredonia, & they send love to you. I saw your father & mother, & they are well.
