NIAGARA FALLS, July
24th, 1856.
DEAR SIR: — I take this opportunity of writing these few
lines to you hoping that they may find you enjoying good health as these few lines
leave me at present. I thank you for your kindness. Miss Moore arrived here on
the 30th of June and I was down to the cars to receive her. I thought I would
have written to you before, but I thought I would wait till I got married. I
got married on the 22d of July in the English Church Canada about 11 o'clock my
wife sends all her love to you and your wife and all enquiring friends please
to kiss your two children for her and she says she is done crying and I am glad
to hear she enjoyed herself so well in Philadelphia give my respects to Miss
Margaret Cuningham and I am glad to hear her sister arrived my father sends his
respects to you no more at present but remain your friend,
JAMES H. FORMAN.
Direct your letter to the International Hotel, Niagara
Falls.
