move on for Manhattan about
three P.M. next day.

Everything here is in a quiet
state as far as I know. I pay
little attention to the "winds" but
should probably know if a cyclone
were near.

It will be a source of much
regret that Mrs [Athern?] will be away.
We all like her so very much.
It is hoped she can visit us
in the new [?]. In fact
this wish applies to you all.
The boys would like to see
the old place again and
note the changes.

I hope you have had a
most enjoyable and successful
year. The dry weather here has
made rather dry picking for the
students with collections to prepare.

With kind regards to you
all
I am
Yours very Truly
