I lament it has not been in my power to visit you the past season, but the Arrival of William and the departure of John, detained me a <by> longer time in New York than I wished—I spent 10 day’s at Fishkill with my dear Caroline, 9 day’s at Albany comforting Charity and 8 day’s at Utica gallanting my Sister Sally, Abby was not in a situation to make frequent excursions—I found every thing pleasant and agreable at the three places—you doubtless have been inform’d that Abby has a fine Son—With love and respects to the family I am Dr. Sir, Yours sincerely—
