Mr. Chas. Dellinger

Dear Sir,

Yours of 21st with ten dollars ($10) enclosed came duly to hand.

I regret exceedingly to learn of your continued feeble health. Hope though, the coming summer will bring about an improvement.

My own is very good.

Remember me kindly to Mr. B. and believe me.

Truly yours,

W. N. Ledyard
