New York April 29. 1845
My dear Sister
Your sister Mary desires me to drop / you a line to say that a good opportunity for yourself / and Florence to come on to New York, offers itself / in the bearer of this, Mr Wetmore, who leaves here / this afternoon for Boston. He is uncertain as to the / day on which he will return; of this he will acquaint / you, in time for you to make your preparations.
Mrs. [l? J?] got possession of her house yesterday. / yet it will probably be the early part of the / ensuing week before she will be ready for her / household. Sarah + her little one continue / to improve daily.
Yours affectionately
William Irving
