No. 46 South Street
Mr dear Mr Leeser
I was very glad to see your autography again and ? your note of 7 inst with great pleasure as I now welcome you home again. I am also very glad that you return in improved health and that your visitings have not proved unsuccessful pecuniarily
I intended to write to our mutual and good friend Mr. Cozens during your absence and am heartily sorry that I did not, but somehow time slips by so rapidly that it comes and goes before I am aware of it. However I hope to do bet-ter next time. My health has bee un-commonly good during the winter and is so now but I fear for the next few months, particularly as I am so situated that I do not see how I can get away from home. I had such a delightful
visit down South, especially in Mobile last spring, that I should much like to repeat it. You do not say a word about our Mobile friends nor have I heard a single word from them since my return although I have written Dr. Wolff twice and have sent several verbal messages to him and to his interesting family. I hope they are in good health and spirits, although I can hardly expect the latter ? they something more than humor. The heathen Bloodhounds at Washington seem determined crush and beggar the entire south and her proper?. I earnestly pray that some power may yet frustrate their informal plans.
Your monthly Parcels have been regularly received and distributed the Occident for your New York subscribers sent to me whilst you was away I distributed though the P.O. Your last parcel by Adams & Co was marked paid by you, but they insisted on collecting the freight from me to the extent of 30¢
and the 2 previous parcels each 50¢. If you prepaid them you have a claim upon the compy for the amount
I noticed, with much regret in the newspapers of last week the death of Mr. Cozens valued friend Dr. Hewitt of Budapest I am sure it was a sad blow to her
I noticed in the last No. of the Occident that you were again the ? of one of your good people, it must be very gratifying to you to be thus remembered and I sincerely hope you will continue so to be.
Please remember me affectionately to Mrs Cozens and to Miss Ella and believe as ever, in great haste.
Your sincere friend
Hanford
PS. as yet I have no collections to report but have some in train - Identifier
