nwh [page 1] Righr margin Different hand Henry May '81 Rochester, N. Y.. May 26, 1881 Different hand July 14 My dear Father,

       Your very welcome

letter of the 10 ult. received this morning.

       Mr. Baker sends mail to you this

afternoon so you can't accuse me of long delaying my answer.

       You seem to be enjoying yourself

immensely, and I wish that I could be with you. Your hunting the Solan geese must have been very novl sport.

       The weather i Rochester would just suit

you now, as the mercury varyies from 70 to 90.

       I suppose that the Academy will close in

from three to four weeks and then I will be free. Have not been feeling well for the last month, but i guess it is owing to the weather and that I will soon get over it.

       I am attempting uncle Edd

the desirability, in fact necessity, of sending me on to Cincinnati this summer to mount the casts etc., ^to be^ sent on there
