Clinton W. C. Nov 18, 1881 My dear Brother

 As Dr. Grafs is going to the city and will be in your area? I thought I would not let the opportunity pass, with sending you a note. I hope you will be coming out to see me again before a great while, for I have a great deal that I want to say to you; and there is one thing in particular, that I would like to have a talk with you about, but I cannot do it by writing, for until I see you I know nothing certainly of how matters stand. But I will just mention it here, and then wait patiently until I can see you and nave a private interview with you; I suppose you know what and who I have reference to; it is Miss P. and the attentions which you are paying to her. Are you in earnest, and have you any serious motive in thus cultivating her acquaintance, and seeking or at least encouraging her affection by your attentive manner towards her?
