 Wednesday morn. It rains probably rains at Princeton - rains Commencement
 day - Well it rains here too _ It rains out doors
 rains up Stairs & begins to rain in my room. I do not like this

 Night before last I went down to 84 Broadway to watch with Dr Gould,
 but unfortunately for me they had made arrangements so that my stay 
 was needless. Last night I went to the Theo. Sem. Anniversary with
 a lady whom I found on my return to be engaged in a large school
 in E. Broadway where Mr Hume is now lecturing on Botany. On friday
 I expect to go there & hear him.


 At W. & Ps  I have been waiting an hour or two for
 a letter from Hastings but it does not come -


 Mr Schaffer's election is postponed as he will inform

 Give my respects to all your family 
 Yours in haste I F Holton
