 bind. Shall I send? Or keep 
 till you come, or the girls go 
 home? 


 I am sometimes disheartened 
 when I think what an immense 
 amount of work I have got to do 
 this year. I have turned off 
 very little this spring & summer. 
 But now I go at it to more advantage.
 I shall not be absent 
 from my table a day more than 
 I can possibly help. 


 Horsford was married again
 yesterday, I suppose, on Long Island, 
 to the sister of his former wife, 
 a person we well know, and a 
 very nice & excellent person, who has
 already been an excellent & devoted 
 mother to his children.


 Jane sends her warm love. 


 Ever Yours affectionately 
 A. Gray
