Transcribe Bierce, S. C. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1879-06-30)

leave here on Thursday. July 3rd I will telegraph from Cleveland at what time I will reach Rochester. Then on my arrival, perhaps we may be able to arrange the time of arranging the cabinets to suite the convenience of both parties. I should greatly prefer being here as there is a matter of decoration which Bishop Payne desires me to see to in connection with your advice and design. I think too that he would be glad to have the delay longer (as it now is) as that he might possibly carry out his first proposition to you.

Your letter of the 25th to Bishop was forwarded here from Phila and missed him of course. I send it back to him to-day. with a letter stating proposed change in my plans.

I anticipate much pleasure in my visit to R-. I neglected to say that Bishop left here for the East the 28th be bone until Oct.

Yours respectfully

S. C. Bierce
