My darling Celia
What do you tink of the enclosed
sketch from life?
I went down town yesterday and in [passing?]
the horse car meeting us I saw Miss Sarah Johnson
and recognition was just long enough to deserve the
name and that was all - I have made already
two visits down town since I have been here
And every time to Mr Dells - I am going to
Stay a week there when I get through here whenever
that may be - I have seen Mrs Wakefield from
Mazon out here she rode in the same car I did
coming home last evening -
How is your Brother Alvah? do you receive
any letters from him? Charley Gulick owes me
three dollars which would buy postage stamps
and pay down town rides so does Dr Le Roy owe
me about 7 or 8$ - now neither of them write to
me and the last stamp I have got I have put on
this letter - but I suppose I can run in debt
for 50¢ or so - with Dr Hale till I receive that money
from Morris - it is an infernal shame to neglect
me so is it not my precious - About calling you pet
names I [read] the Tribune yesterday Morn and among
the advertised Letters was one addressed thus
