Marshfield, August 1, 1851.
MY DEAR SIR,—I am
getting along pretty well, although a violent change in the weather, from hot
to cold, has proved a little unfavorable.
I am glad to learn
that you are going to the Virginia Springs. I am sure you will be very
cordially received.
I have written to
Mr. Corwin that I will meet him at New York, whenever it may suit his
convenience; and shall of course repair to Washington, whenever you may deem my
presence there to be necessary; nevertheless, my hope is to stay here for some
considerable time, with no further migrating than to New Hampshire. Mrs.
Webster will set out on her proposed visit to Western New York on the 4th
instant.
Of Mr. Allen, consul
at Honolulu, I hear nothing since I wrote you, except perhaps that his
indisposition continues.
I shall probably
write you on the 4th, or earlier, if in the mean time I hear from you,
addressed to you at Capon Springs.
