AUGUSTA Maine, August 4.
Cyrus ", Field, Star and Garter Hotel, Rich.
thank you for the agreeable sur.
prise of your message. The failure
of the first cable, the general amuse-
ment over DE Santy's struggling des-
patches, the incredulity of the public
In regard TO ocean telegraphy In 1858,
are fresh In my mind. The discOur-
agcmcnt would have broken down
any man but one of your energy aud
faith. Let me pronounce TO your dis
tinguished company, the health of the
Field family, eminent In every profess
sion to which they have devoted their
power. (Signed)
