Your picture of your present life is not attractive.  I don't wonder both you and Miss Gay are anxious to get through.  I only hope your health and strength will hold out.  I have been very anxious about you.  I thought last spring you were on the verge of breaking down when I left Washington.  I hope the outdoor life has done something to counteract the effects of your hardships. - You didn't say when you expected to finish your work there.  I shall hope to see you here at no very late date.

My regards to Miss Gay.

Yours cordially,
J.C. Fillmore
