 My dear Friend,


 I rec'd. [received] yr [your] letter this morning 
 containing several allusions to 
 an enclosed letter to Lowrie, which
 letter however I have been unable to
 find after a most careful & minute 
 examination of the envelope. There
 was a letter for Mrs. Fitzpatrick but
 none for Lowrie. I shd [should] have been
 very glad to have sent a letter, with 
 yours, descriptive of seminary affairs
 & will do so any time the opportunity
 is afforded me.


 You seem to have fallen into a 
 little mistake about my not crossing 
 the river on acct of a "little floating ice"
