NEW YORK CITY, q. S.
ssMY DEAR FRIEND: We have just ar
rived after a stormy passage, and write
to advise you Of this, according to'promise,
but can do little more ut present than give
you this information. Kate did not suffer
from NAL dc mer; it turned out that was
the worse sailor Of the two II we should
only find that all is we'll we shall have q
vers happy time. 1need not tell you that
Kate is the dearest, sweetest girl in the
world You know that; WYedale knows
it.; everybody knows it. The sea air and
the change have done her good. Sometimes
during the voyage she seemed to forget all
her gloomy forebodings. She made friends
with a NEST agreeable American family
living in the Fifth avenue-!ather, mother,
two daughters AMI a son, very nico young
people all Of them, father and mother as
young as the rest, and they have invited
US to dinner. The weather is exceedingly
hot, and New York is almost like contin.
entail city. I think We shall like the Amer
leans, which will be quite in keeping with
my business experience of them gained in
Manchester, though I know you are pre-
judiced on account Of the slave business;
but every nation has its peculiar institu-
tions, and after all we English endowed,
the states with this one, to which you and
all of US now so much object 1t is like

the bad news of my letter to the last. Joe
is not here, and now am sorry Kate did
not let me writs mail ahead OF us to say
we were coming. he left week ago, for
the west uhey think, or for one of the sum-
mer resorts, the hotel psople don't know
which. They believe he went west, as he
made some inquiries as to the route to
Chicago, and talked Of going back to Eng
land by way of San Francisco and Japan,
which means tremendous journey, and u
dangerous one, across the plains. Kate
bears up well under this news, which, unless
it is explained tomorrow by the lawyers in
re the Norbury property business, is rather
extraordinary. | wish we had written to
him; but sufficient for the day The best
news is that we have arrived safe and well
Kate far better than when we sailed;
that this hotel seems very comfortable, the
people civil; and let us hope that Katc's
strange and curious fancies will be dissi-
pated tomorrow. If there is time to put
postscript to this letter before the mail
goes in the morning I shall add it with the
latest nows of Joe that can be got. With
our united loves, am your true and affec-
tionate DICK.
'sP. S. Just time to say have seen the
lawyers; they had written to Kate a week
ago, and incloss q copy of their letter."
BROADWAY, New York.
DEAR MADAME: Your brother, Mr..
Joseph Norbury, requests us to inform you
there are of his succession to a share of the
Norbury property in this state. When
alighting from q carriage at the hotel hs
met with slight accident which incapaci-
tates him from writing at the moment-a
sprain of the thumb, a slight mat tier, but
rather painful. On this account he asks US
us to add that it is his desire that you should
no longer consider him in regard to your
marriage. On reflection he feels that he
has been selfish in this matter, and he hopes
on his return to find a brother as

may expect a letter from him by the
next mail, and in the meantime should he
leave New York Us he expects to do in two
days, any letters addressed to him to our
care will be mailed to him. He will post
us up in his address from time to time.
We are to say that with the exception of
the slight sprain before mentioned he is
quite we'll, and you will please give his kind
%D H.,
Wood, and to inform DR.. Ware that his
opinion was quite correct: it was change
that he needed. Also give his love to Aunt
Dorothy ani to Dick, and accept the same
with his sincere affection and solicitude for
yourself. We remain, yours,
