NEW YORK CRY,
July 3rd, 1873,

MeSsrs. Editors In accordance with
my promise, I drop you a few lines for
your valuable paper, Of which I have not
seen a copy since I left you, and | re.
quest you to send me the Weekly" to
No. A Douglass Street, Brooklyn, the
place of my residence.
It'll powerful warm here and tomorrow
Is the glorious Fourth, what people will
doom that ever glorious day with the
Thermometer at 90 l can't perceive.
Hot weather always calls my attention
to our friend Newt. Griffith, / do hope he
will take it coolly, for a man of his cali
bre mast be particular careful these hot
spells.
Tho cholera in Tennessee is the all
absorbing topic here and the sympathy Of
this people is greatly in Jour favor. May
Heaven remove tho SORROWS from your
midst, especially from the dear people Of
Washington County, whom / love SO much,
| will shortly pay you a visit. unless provi.
dentially hindered. Ny family who have
returned from Europe two weeks ago,
want to see Jonesboro' SO bad, and il
possible, will take them along. When 1
heard Of the cholera in Tennessee | was
reminded Of what DR.. Sewer, predicted
a year ago, during the hot time. He ex-
pressed himselfthen as feaiing an epidemic.
DR.. Sewer is in my judgment Que of the
best physicians living aud his advice in
times like the present cannot be over
estimated. He is also very sound on dogs.
If | succeed here as | hope of doing DR..
Sewer, will be one Of our friends whom l
shall try to abduct. Happy the com.
munity that possesses such a gentleman
and citizen.
Physicians here advice a total abstinence
from all green vegetables especially Gu.
cumbers, as engenderins the cholera iu
an epidemic form.
The new Post Office here is rising
rapidly, when completed, it will be one Of
the finest structures in the world, and
the glory of America in the building line.
New York is as always lively, and the
departure for the country Of 200, 600
persons does not seem to reduce
the hustle on the streets. / will when
any thing here takes place Of interest to
your section, communicate it.
receive a great many letters from East
Tennessee, both o~ffriendship and business
and any thing | can do, to assist in build
ing up my old beloved home, l shall
spare no pains to do. Any letters adj
dressed to mt viii be cheerfully answered.
They may be addressed to Rooms IA aud
10, 200 Broadway, New York, or A
Douglass Street, Brooklyn. Our Courts
here have all adjourned until October LIST,
except for what we call Chamber business.
Young Wallworth wa convicted Of
murder in second degree, to the surprise Of
everybody. There is a feeling abroad here
that crime must be made odious AMI
criminals pusished. l have no doubt that
1t is highly necessary in a community of
from I to 8 millions within a ratio Of 35
miles. Gold is slowly declining. Money
here is plenty for No. | securities, other
wise tho rate of interest is high. Business
here is very dull, except in the legal line,
in which there is always enough to do.
l am myself with one of the best Law
firms in this City and will shortly send
you my card. Any business entrusted to
mo will meet prompt attention. @ 4
Compliments to all my friends Drs.
Wheeler and Mahoney not excepted.
/ sometimes long for the quiet of
dear Jonesboro' and some day when am
independent | have an idea Of spending
the evening of my life among you.
