My Dear Dr

I have been absent on a
visit to Philadelphia and therefore
did not answer your last letter but
one. The last came to hand yesterday
and I would have sent you the above
check immediately but the money
could not be drawn until today

One of the New York Banks has
lately declared a dividend otherwise
we would not yet have been in
funds. I have only to day drawn
my own salary - The prospect
of full classes is now as favorable
