 Clarinda Sarah, I need not tell you, will be prized as coming from her aunts in Old England. When Mr. Chapman is in London you can entrust any parcel to him, and he will either get some seafaring gentleman who may be coming out here to bring it to me, or ship it in a regular manner, paying the freight in London, and getting a bill of lading signed for it. There are several little things which I want to get from home. I will enumerate them when I send the money to procure them. I should like very well to have the dog, but do not send him till you see whether I am likely soon to return. I am extremely glad to hear that Mr. J. Varney is getting on well in business. Send me word what John Hornblower is doing, if you can learn without giving yourself much trouble. Write to me as frequently as you can. Clarinda sends her love to all her friends, to which I add my own, sincerely wishing them every earthly happiness and prosperity; but ask Mr. Varney not to send any more messages, as he is likely to be understood by writing much better. In an early letter I will let you know my views as to the future. I am now very anxious about getting money, not being at all content to come here for no purpose. I must now bid you 'farewell'
