          6 oclock evening New York


 July 25th 1850


 Dear Sir


 You may think I am crazy
 and I certainly know I am confused.
 This is the third time I have attempted to
 transmit Mr. Sullivants letter to you. This
 is the charm if I do not succeed this time
 I must give up in despair. In looking at
 my memorandum book just now I find
 his letter still here. I saw Mr. Thurber
 and he thinks you may visit New York soon.
 If you do, will you be so kind as to let me
 know?


 Yours Most Respectfully
 John M. Bigelow
