I will think of Mrs. D. when the Boat comes to Cincinnati, which may be next trip from N.O. But I cannot make any certain promise The fruit which I send you, you may dispose of among your friends, as you like should you have any more than you want for yourselves, send Mr. Thomas some as he will have the trouble of sending your things to you. Egbert is on the Boat and will go on with us to St, Louis, he will probably remain a few days, and then leave for your fair City of Cincinnati, I will write you again, when he leaves us at St, Louis, to come home, In the keg of fruit you will find several late N.O. papers which I put in for our esteem Cousin J. I often think of you, and our little dear, and hope soon to see you, may this find you all enjoying good health, is my sincere wishes, My health still remains very good. Tell Mother she must not scold, if the oysters should make a little mess. My best love to you all, From your affectionate Husband C.Gardner Pearce image
