Cambridge [Tuesday?] Morning

My Dear Doctor

I am just home this morning
and as I had no time yesterday to reply to
your kind letter of Saturday , I write at once now.

First, let me say that you more confidently
expected our little visit of 4 hours than I [?]
my letter from W. should have warranted,
for I could hardly expect that time or that
Jane's strength would have admitted of our
leaving W. on Friday might, and riding
all night.

That evening we were at the
White House, to see Madam Polk. We
have accomplished a great deal of sight-seeing
and all in one week and a day, and Jane
has enjoyed it much, except the drawback of
not seeing Mrs. T. & the girls & yourself at home
which she greatly wishes.

Then we were
so [provokingly?] disappointed in New York too. _

Your letter, sent up to our room Sunday
morning told us that Mrs. T. was to return to
Princeton on Saturday afternoon.  But the
next morning Holton called & told us she
was still at Mr. Roberts but too unwell
he thought to come down to call on us.  So
