DEAR SISTER:

Your letter was received one week ago last Tuesday, and I would have
answered it by the next mail but it so happened that there was not a

a detailed account of my whole transactions with Camp, and a copy of
which Father can have to peruse when he comes along this way next.

Julia and her children are all well and talk of making you a visit
