1. J. RAYMOND, ES

MY DEAR RAYMOND :

Though you failed to accompany me in my trip to the Adirondack Region, yet I often thought of you in my long marches and lonely bivouacks. Filling at that time a large place in my memory, and always a much larger one in my heart, permit me to inscribe these letters to you as a token of my regard and esteem. Very sincerely and truly yours,

J. T. HEADLEY. Now YORK, March 31, 1849.
