Friday. April 20/88. So's to be in time for May 1st! Both Birthday,- & Salon. For the latter,- thinking you may like to know what the Americans are doing for it, & not wishing to be disagreeable about the superior advantages we enjoy for early information- we send you by same mail with this a copy of this week's Harper's Weekly, which we hope you will find interesting & instructive. We hope you will discover the same qualities in the enclosures herewith for the Birthdays, in addition to their being testimonies of family affection,- which the said family would fain express in a more expressive manner, but they lack the means & so trust themselves to your previous knowledge of them. As you grow in years may you grow in Grace! Amen! and amen good night.
