y a friend. The box, of which I
had been inquiring, I have received, and am infinitely obliged
to you for sending it. Mr. and Mrs. Renson are living in
Hamilton, C.W. They send their best love to you and your family.
I am at present residing in Toronto, C.W. Mr. Anthony Loney has
gone on to Boston, and is desirous of my coming on to him; and
as I have many acquaintances there, I should like to know from
you whether it would be advisable or not. Give, if you please,
my best love to your family and accept the same for yourself,
and also to Mr. James Ormsted and family. Tell James Ormsted I
would be glad if he would send me a pair of thick, heavy boots,
for it rains and hails as often out here in the summer, as it
does there in the winter. Tell him to send No. 9, and anything
he thinks will do me good in this cold country. Please to give
to Mr. James Ormsted to give to Mr. Robert Seldon, and tell him
to give it to my father. Mr. and Mrs. Truehart send their love
to you and your family. If the gentleman, Mr. R.S., is not
running on the boat now, you can give directions to Ludwill
Cobb, in care of Mr. R. Seldon, Richmond, Va. Tell Mr. Ormsted
not to forget my boots and send them by express. No more at
present, but remain yours very truly,
Please write soon.
