Declares that he is anxious about Lucy's health, and is checking "every post ... more and more so until I shall informed of your having been safely delivered." Provides news on acquaintances, and mentions that he has yet to receive confirmation that [William] Duer will agree to sell. This is unfortunate as it will require him to make another trip to New York. Also discusses the weather, and sends his love to the family.
