New York. Tuesday. May 1
My dear Aunty:
Your Kind letter of the 27th of
April reached me yesterday. I have been
somewhat unwell for the past two weeks
but I hope I am gradually gaining
This New York climate, like a good many
other things about the city, does not a-
gree with me. There is a good deal of
the unpleasant in both the physical &
moral atmosphere to which I fear I
shall never become insensible.
It was Carries

intention to
start for Geneva with her family

terday, but the journey is now post-
poned till she has recovered from the
shock of her unfortunate fall. She is
very grateful for t your kind invitation
to make you a visit, and would enjoy
it especially with sister’s

arrival, but she
thinks that it would it be too large an-
arrival to stop with her seven trunks,
small infant

, large nurse and
untold numbers of bandboxes satch-
els, baskets &c: Besides I had prom-
ised myself the pleasure of making
the visit with her, and I hope to do so.
But I cannot leave now and do not
see that I shall be able to do so before
June or July. Her brother

will accompany
her home.
I sincerely hope that the spring
may restore to you, as it does to many
of the works of our Father’s hand, health
and strength, and that with the snows of
winter may pass away all causes
of your ill-health—like them never
more to return—Carrie joins me in
love to all:
Ever gratefully
Clarence
