very well satisfied even if I dont explore the upper Youkon [[strikethrough]] this [[/strikethrough]] till after his arrival here next spring.

I'm greatly in hopes that Pope & Rothrock may have reached Frt Youkon in which event of course there will be no need of my going above there myself unless I go clear thru to Frisco. 

Love to Mrs Baird & Lucy and kind regards to Rest of Henrys family & other friends.

Yours always,
R. Kennicott

Transcription Notes:
- cross between "to Frisco" may have meant to strikeout this part and end with "thru" - "Rest": compare "R" and "K" in signature. vertical line for "R" does not extend after the loop. The "t" was more difficult because he only put the cross bar (look above the "o")
