Academy of the Fine Arts that the picture was received in good order.

No receipts or disbursements of any consequence, since my last letter, hence the cash balance is about the same as on Feb. 11th.

Upon the receipt of Mr. Happer's letter, I thought that as it referred to a collection of Japanese Prints, I would send it to Mr. Morse, as I felt that were you here, you would communicate with him about it, and a copy of my letter to Mr. Morse, and his reply thereto, I am enclosing herein.  His letter to Stephen asked for information about the construction of your vault, because he wishes to instal one in the new home he is about to build.

You were no doubt saddened by the receipt of the news of Mr. W. C. McMillan's death. Col. Hecker is only awaiting advice from you as the where mail matter can reach you, to write you.
Stephen reports everything all right at the house. He and his family, are well. Everything is quite at the office, and all are likewise well. 
Newspaper clippings will go to you under separate cover.
I trust you continue well, and as you have no doubt decided to take in China and Japan, I know a very enjoyable time in these countries is before you.

Very respectfully yours,
J M Kennedy
