 My dear friend


 I did not receive yr [your]
 letter till late last night. This morning 
 I have called upon Mr. Alden 
 but did not see him (as he was not up).
 He sent me word however that the warrant
 had not been made out by Dr. 
 [Carnahan?]. I will call upon the Dr
 this morning & try to send the warrant
 by the 11 ocl. [o'clock] mail. I was in hopes to 
 have sent it by my brother this morning
 in the 7 ocl [o'clock] train.


 I am deeply mortified [crossed out: that] because 
 I forgot yr [your] letter. I will try not to do 
 so again. I am forgetful. I sent
 my letter to you by the night train (Thursday)
