You must not worry but that I will bring you the ring or something equally as interesting. Have one already for Seba.

Tell Hattie that I am sorry that I should be a cause for her to worry. As Kenelm writes, Mrs. Stevens, (you remember the good old lady in West Point,) also worries greatly about me too, and hopes that I will be provided with an escort. What queer ideas people will have about other countries than their own!

I am pleased to see Plymouth Church affairs progressing as rapidly as they do, and hope that they will be settled before long now. We have a long hard pull of it and certainly deserve to pull through. If I could and felt that it was necessary I would do more; but as long as I have nerly as much to look after outside as the amount to be raised by the church, I can not believe it my duty. Have figured very closely in order to do what we did during the past few years.

Again saying good bye, I remain yours etc.,
Lawrence

Mrs. McCrosky says to send her love to you when I am writing.
