Livy darling,

I took the Erie transfer coach at on ‸the‸ [Jersey City,] ‸side,‸ & liked it. It is big, roomy, clean. It came by ferry boat to 23d street, & deposited me at the hotel without delay—myself & trunk for 75 cents. I go to Hartford in the morning, but I loathe the trip. It is now about the middle of the afternoon; breakfasted in bed, & have just got up. Baggage car took fire yesterday. The play was in danger. However, I could have re-written it without great difficulty. Am expecting [fu] Fuller every moment, now. I love you, darling, & was so sorry you were “low” when I left. Cheer up!

Saml.
