Your beautiful parcel of ""gems"" came to me. safely. The night before I left Boston (with the catalogue of music) you are good & kind & beautiful +++ & I thank you. I thank you very much. you shall see these--anow. in a beautiful Roman binding. any more contributions that you may be able to make. I shall be thankful for--you see there is no satisfying some people. I was very sorry to have to leave Boston without visiting the ""nest"" in Charles St [Fields house] but I was just +++ to death. You see if it had been any other season of the year that I was in the neighbourhood of Boston I should have seen more of my friends who were at this time--out in the country.

[page 2] so I enjoyed my ""dolce far [?]"" letters. not ""niente"". for I was hard worked all the time about the case for the books. I imagine I have got all together. now. That can be got together. except the number of [word crossed out] ""Every Saturday"" since the last +++ was bored. I wish I had some of the other volumes. & wish you could ""scour [?] them up"" for me somewhere. for this chance of sending out my books must be embraced. or wait a year of Sundays about +++. I have written a too talky letter. which I enclose to you. I dont [sic] think it nescessary [sic] to use it. the Doctor is the right man to do it. for it was to him. I sent my donation for the Hall & if he uses my name to these people I have indicated--he need not show the letter. to Gardner Brown. perhaps he had better show [sic] it. but not to the other Let him make +++ Dale-- who gave

[page 3] me [word crossed out] promise he would give somethin [sic] to it. Let his paper be prepared & headed with their own subscription & then Mrs Skinners. which is a good thing [?] I have kept Mrs Skinners [?] check. for I will continue to get the +++ for that - and tell the D not to hunt the sum he wants. If they ask him how much he wants let him answer ""as much as we can get. more money. more brackets - and ""we have Miss Cushman there to overlook the work. & see that it is well done"". He is to go to Frank Skinner notwithstanding I have his mothers [sic] subscription. I arranged all that. but Frank himself was away when I was there! will you tell me. what I ought to pay for a copy of Darlings [?] engravings of Margaret. I have found the book itself. & should like the Engravings. Dutton [publisher of the Boston Daily Evening Transcript] has one. which he says I shall have for 20"" - but that seems to me high. for

[page 4] a second hand book. Does it not? can I get it any cheaper. will you print this poem [?] of ""Iza Blagdino [?]"". I have just jot it & she wants to dispose of it. I must say ""Good bye"". my cold continues bad & I decend [sic] my journey to St Louis. for which I start on Monday at 2. oclock [sic]. to +++ address me after to care of Crow M Coury [?] & Co. St Louis +++ +++. Give my best love to Annie. my regrets to Mr & Mrs +++ that I did not see them. for I wanted to do so. & I wanted to ask him if he did not want that ""+++ Oberland [?]"" of Tiltons [sic]. which he can have at Tiltons [sic] old prices for he is getting double now for the same sized [inserted] picture. & not so well painted
Believe me. Yours aff [affectionately]
