[Mr Fish?] has had very good health since coming
back North, rather better I think that at the South.
Tell Mrs B. we had the pleasure of Mr Cushing's
company to tea recently. He is traveling in the
insurance business.

I was sorry not to see you when in the state
last fall. We hope you will try to at least give
us a call next time. We are only a little [bit?]
of your way now if you go by MIch. Central.

I think my wife would be much pleased if your
wife would giver her some bits of news from your
family, and she would probably get more news
in return than I can think of.

My work takes me away from home so much
that I dont know much about these myself.

Please send me a catalogue of your institution
that I may know about the [?]ing of
your [time?/term?] and any items you can give that
will aid me in making my plans will be thankfully
received.

Please remember me kindly to Mrs B.
and family, and with the hope that I may
have a speedy and favorable reply

I am
Very Truly
Your friend
R. Haigh Jr.

"Knowing the author's earnest and thorough methods of work [?]

which every [?] would need and desire. I have given it a careful [?] and I find [?]
mistaken. I have found that it would have rendered me valuable service had I p[?] [?]
past, and I [add note?] that it will be a [?] valuable edition to my library. So far as I can see [?]
has touched upon all the legal questions which concern farmers, and in the [appealed?] [?]
he has added that which will be much prized."
