On Monday Longnecker and I with some others are going out Woodcock shooting. We all will leave here on Wednesday next for New Haven via New York. We will remain in NH. till the first week in August & then scatter (some of us) some where. We have not yet determined but I hope to take Mother at least on a trip to Niagara etc. Our last news from California May 31st all well. I hope the Old Man enjoyed himself in New York more than he did in Philad. I should like to have been with him.

Write me soon Dear Sister -- Give much love & many kisses to Anna, Willie, Bell & my renowned god-son The King Couper. To the Old Man my love, I suppose you give him kisses enough of your own. I will write O'Bourke in a day or two but you need not tell him for I have been so negligent he won't believe you. Regards to Dunham, Hamilton & others who deserve them. Dearest Sister I grieve that you cannot be with us, but know you are happier with your husband and children. Write Soon.
Your most aff. bro. H.S.R. King
