N York May 26th 1864
My dear Mr Leeser
I duly recd your favor of 9th inst. and ever since have been waiting an opportunity to reply thereto. But it has seemed between church Bank & nursery matters and 5 or 6 Hours consumed daily in traveling—that I have not a moments time for anything else.
Perhaps you have not heard that Mrs Hanford some 10 days since presented me with twin Babies—a Girl & a Boy— please tell Mrs Cozens. The mother & children are doing remarkably well. Besides this a new Bank has just been organized at So Norwalk of which I am Director & Vice President which takes up all my evenings—being chairman of the committee on By Laws & a member of

of any other committee on Building Safes &c.
Your Parcels have been regularly recd and contents distributed as addressed. The Am European Express Co. people say your parcels have all been ditd and recd in England. They also say they will have to raise the price of Freight, but could not then say how much.
I enclose the Express Co. receipts for the last 3 Parcels.
Are you not afraid your paper will be stopped a guard of ? Bucks put over your types & yourself consigned to Fort Lafayette. (I wonder what that illustrious Patriot would say if he could know how his name is being desecrated). The Autocrat might with equal justice do these things to us or any one else as to have done it to Parties here for publishing with

the best instructions—a matter of such vital importance and with such semblance of truth & genuineness. A Forgery perpetrated & concocted by one of the many fanatics and adherents of the administration.
With much love to Mrs Cozens & Ella. I remain in great haste
Your sincere Friend
H S. Hanford
