Dear Church:--
Your kind letter of the 10th instant is here but the newspaper has not yet arrived. It will probably show up in a day or two.
Wrestling with rheumatism and a dentist at the same time is truly an unhappy lot. I hope, however, that the pain is not continuous from your teeth to your toe-nails. Do not let the dentist fuss too much with you until you are able to get on your own feet.
Yes, the pegasus, I am sure, will be very fine. In thinking recently of the picture I have almost felt like suggesting that you add a skull to the plowed furrow, thus showing that even Cupid sometimes is warned of the future fate of his victims.
I have spoken with Colonel Hecker about the Pandora and he assures me that Mrs. Hecker has no feeling in the matter. She has been extremely busy lately but I am sure that she intends writing you on the subject.
I am off for Washington to-night and shall return by the way of New York. If I remain there over a day I shall hope to look you up.
Always sincerely yours,
Charles L. Freer

F.S. Church, Esq.,
