Dear Uncle Peter

I write you, at the request of my wife, with regard to the book. Arrangements have been made with Wm T. Hamilton, book-merchant of Syracuse, to publish your book. it. — It is now ready for the press & the work will probably be commenced very soon.

Now what of the little child? Is there any prospect of its being randsomed? Must the book be delayed any on account of it? Please write immediately and let us know

Our folks are all in usual health, as are also Mr Lyon's people. The baby grows finely.– Remember us all in much love to Aunt Vina and the Children

In haste
