LA PIÉRRE HOUSE
CAPE ISLAND, N.J.
J. & F. WIENER. Cape Island July 26 1870
My dear Clara
Towards evening yesterday your letter, and one written by Henry came unexpectedly but gladly to hand. I rejoice to learn that yourself and the dear children continue well. My health has improved, and I enjoy the bathing greatly. Yet, these considerations scarcely counterbalance the absence of home comforts, which one is so apt to disregard when in the full possession thereof, and the pleasure of seeing dear faces. I had distressing dreams last night, but I am no believer in the visions that come up to disturb our sleep. I am firmly convinced that Providence has you all under His protecting shield, and you are safe through that Divine guardianship. Tell dear Henry that what most pleased me in his letter was his promise to be obedient during my absence, a thing which I much wish to see him carry out at all times. I have not the least doubt that Dear Nina is careful not to give you cause for being dis--satisfied, and offers you ever assistance. Esther
is so handy, that she does not require much urging to make her stir about and act her part. Rebecca is at times a little troublesome, but by kindness she can be made to behave like a lady, particularly when she is told that I ask her, the whole way from 6 of May, to be a good girl. Gentit is tractable, our sweet Miriam must be borne with, on account of the sickness lately suffered; and the lovely baby, of course, cannot be stopped if he chooses to hollow.
Last evening I paid a long visit to Mrs P. Hart, who is im-proving in health, and likewise to Mrs L. J. Levy, who boards at the same hotel. This morning Mrs Judah Levy, Mrs De Young and her daughter called on me, and requested I would return the visit, but I do not exactly remember their respective direction, so it will be difficult for me to find them out. In my next I will apprize you of the time in which I purpose setting out on Friday. Meanwhile give my regards to brothers and sisters, aunts, cousins and inquiring friends. Kiss for me each of our seven dear ones, and receive a mutual embrace from
Your affectionat husband
