I have taken a house at Bowden n [in, ?] Manchester for two months. until the +++ one. too have been for a month at Harrogate & desired much benefit from the

I wrote to Dr. Howe sometime ago. about the Mann statue — but have heard nothing. at this rate of exchange it would be madness to bring the money over to pay Müller. The money which was placed with Col Stebbins. towards. paying for the statue: I see Gail [?] Hamilton & Mrs Prescott have new books out. will you send me back any thing new by Hattie Hosmer when she comes back earlier Nov". Give my kind regards to every body who cares for me. & Emma Stebbins, also where is Annie. & how is she

Mr Seward assistant secretary of state Washington. I hear they have not come to hand will you look after this. & see it done & charge to me. send me a Boston paper when you have a chance without trouble to yourself direct to me until 5" of October at Rose Hill.
