          [quiet?] purpose. I hope
your Mint business
will not be over-driving
you then. If I came
to N.Y. where I have a
son in the Come. Advertiser
office, it will be
next to see you, & I
can make little stay
for other purposes.

I have been pretty
well this summer, &
am now well for an
old man. I hope all
your family are in
good health & [?].

Please write me at Springfield,
if you are not to be in N. York, or too busy,
on 9th 10th or 11th prox. I
shall get the letter at Sp_d.

Yours truly

C. Dewey
