To "My dear Crosby", in full: "Maggy's letter gives you all details until its date. After dinner yesterday, the weather became so far settled as to permit us to drive around Goat island - stopping a the points of interest. This prepared us for an early retirement, and for sound sleep. No one enjoyed more of it than Willy, who thinks this morning, that the air of Niagara agrees with him. We are all well, & in half an hour will be on our way to the Suspension Bridge. Love to Mary & Hatty & the boys, and my best regards to Mr. & Mrs. W. H. Crosby. Affectionately yours".
