the large majority of Democrats
there would seem no chance of
Fathers election, yet their quarrels
& the friendship of many for F. may
result in his election.

Georgia wrote me yesterday from
Philad & says that they have had the
influenza but are now well.
Mall & I are in our usual
excelent health. There is to be a good
concert tonight but I doubt if I go.
On Monday night my [gap] Lillie Devereux
gives the last revolver before Lent in
the shape of a large party which is
expected to be fine - the one last Monday
was very pleasant - time passes
pleasantly & profitably to me now.
John King paid me a short visit
yesterday afternoon, on his way to
New York. I like him very much -
I will now stop, hoping soon to get your letter
Give much love & many Kisses to Dearest
Mother & also to your dear children & F. & C.
