        Now I have a presentment that I will need a short 

vacation about March, and that the climate at Montreal would just suit me.

        I hope you will look favorably on this

       I am in as good health as ordinarially, some

catarrh and dyspeptia, but practically all right.

       Rochester is in the depths of Winter one day - the next

in the midst of Spring. Many of the stores, and Power's Block, are lighted by electric lights. Your affectionate son Henry L. Ward
