My dear Frost,

I do not know where you are, whether at
home or by the sea with your family, or, ranging by your-
self upon some mountain or plain, but, I presume, you
will not object to know that we of Claymont are well,
and would like to know something about you and yours,
if so be that we are not to see you here.

The weather here is glorious, at present, though,
during the heated term the mercury went up as high as
ninety-three, in the afternoon. I think, however, there
were certain places on this continent which beat that.

My farm has flourished and, so far, has given me
no trouble. I am going to try to get one of my fields,
of about twenty acres, in blue grass, (permanent pasture)
