H. J. RAYMOND, ES^. 



My Dear Raymond : 



Though you failed to accompany 

 me in my trip to the Adirondack Region, yet I often 

 thought of you in my long marches and lonely bivouacks. 

 Filling at that time a large place in my memory, and 

 always a much larger one in my heart, permit me to in- 

 scribe these letters to you as a token of my regard and 

 esteem. 



Very sincerely and truly yours, 



J. T. HEADLEY. 



New York, March 31, 1849.
