My Dear Fuller:
That has a very pleasant sound, my boy. Go you ahead & do as you have proposed to do. We will make the said assignments. Old Bowers has been [haunting] Dan Slote, (121 Wm. st.,) [every] day, lately. I told Dan I [will] never see [him], he & to tell him to go to you for the talk [which he] desired to have.
Have had a [prodigious cold.] The rest of the family [not] well, either.
