NEW DIRK lITY, U. .. J
'MY DEAR FRIEND: We have just ar
rived after stormy passage, and write
to advise yo1 of this, accor ling to promise,
but ca do little more at present than give
you TINS information. Kate did not suffer
from NAL de mer; it turned out that | was
the worse st iior of the two If we should
only fad that all is well we shall lave a
very happy time. need not tell you that
Kate is the dearest, sweetest girl In the
world. You know that; Wyedale knows
it; every body knows it The sea air and
the change have done her good. Sometimes
during the voyage she seemed to for yet all
her gloomy forehoiings. She made friends
with a most agreeable American family
living in the Fifth avenue iather, mother,
two daughters AMI son, very nice young
people all of them, father and mother as
young as the rest, and they have in ted
us to dinner The weather is exceedingly
hot. and New York is almost like contin-
entail city. l think we shat like the Amer
leans, which will be quite in keeping with
my business experience of them gained in
Manchester, though l know you are pre-
JUDGED 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
me, you will say to leave what may seem
the bad news of my letter to the last Joe
is not here, and now l am sorry Kate did
not let me write mail ahea of us to say
we were coming. He left a week ago, for
the west they think, or for one of the sum-
mer resorts, the hotel people don't know
which. They believe he went west, as he
made some inquiries as to the route to
Chicago, and taike1 OF going back to Eng
land by way of San Francisco AMI Japan
which means tremendous journey, and a
dangerous one, across the plains. Kate
bears up well under this news, which, unless
it is explaine 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 ami well
Kate far better than when we sailed:
that this hotel seems very comfortable, the
people civil; and let us hope that Hates
strange ani curious fancles will be dissi-
pated tomorrow If there is tim. to put a
postscript to this letter before the mail
goes in the norning | shall adj it with the
latest news Of Joe that can be got. With
our united loves, am your true and affec-
Tomato DICK.
'P. s. just time to say have seen the
lawyers; they had written to Kate a week
ago, AMI lnclose a copy of their letter"
BROADWAY, New York.
DEAR MADAME: Your brother. Mr..
Joseph Norbury requests us to inform you
of his safe arrival, an OF the g,ot prospects
there are OF his succession to shars of the
Norbury property in tnis $ ale. When
alighting from a carriage at Ine hotel he
met with a sight accd snt, which incapaci-
tates him from writing at the nom ,nt-a
sprain of the thumb slight ma tier. but
rather painful. On this account h. asks us
to be his correspondents to you. He wishes
us to add that it is his desire that vou should
no longer consider him in regard to YOUR
marriage. On reflection he feels that he
has been selfish in this matter, AMI he homes
on his return to find brother as
well as a dear sister at Wysdale. You
may expect a letter from him by the
next mail, and in the meantime should he
leave New York as he expects to do in two
days, any letters addressed to him to our
care will be mailed TO him He will most
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 bis kind
remembrance to Dr. Ware and LAWYER
Wood, and to inform DIR. Ware that his
opinion was quite correct: it was change
that he needed. Also give his love to Aunt
Dorothy AMI to Dick, and accept the same
with his sincere affection and solicitude for
yourself. We remain, yours
HALL. BOND & FIsKR."
