To come up right away;he thought of coming latter part of August, I am sorry to hear that Elbridge is unwell; I fear he does not exercise enough aside from work. John has told you about the monument and I will say no more till I come up. Tell Uncle Stephen I want $50 I think, when I come up, he may want to know before.

   Give my love to the boys, (excuse me, young men I should have said) and remember me to all, and so I bid you good-night

 Rachel W. Kingsley                                                                                    Edward.
