My darling Celia
What do you tink of the enclosed
sketch from life?
I went down town yesterday and in [?ing]
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 [Noah]? 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 htem 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
