Eureka June 9th, 1872
Dear Wife,
I received yours of May 21st I am happy to inform you that I have received the Regalia all right. It must have had a round about way as it was marked from Canada to Missouri. It should have been sent to New York or Boston there connecting with Wells Fargo Pacific Express but it is all right now, I was glad to hear you were all well, my health has been very good since I wrote last I have not heard from Harry for a long time he does not answer my letters at all times I hear occasionally from that Gaarter and from what I hear, I infer he is not doing well with his Mill property at Silver park.
