Wilmington. Del. Aug. 21st 1868 J. Kimball, Supt. of Schools, Washington, D.C.:- Dear Sir:- This is my "well day" in my chill and fever discipline, and I hasten to say in reply to your kind note received this morning, that I will inform you of the time when I can meet you, as you propose. Many thanks for your kind wishes. I have had a very serious time, I assure you. But I trust that the chill may not reappear to-morrow; and if so, I shall soon get better. Very Resp'y & Truly [[signature]] Wm. Howard Day [[/signature]]
