New York, Sept. 23, 1870President Horace S. Eldredge.

Dear Brother--The steamer Idaho arrived on the 21st, after a very rough passage. Passengers all well. The luggage of the company was so terribly mixed up that I was all day straightening it out, and the passengers did not start till evening. I leave tomorrow night for home on business.

Kind regards to all at 42.

Yours faithfully,

W. [William] C. Staines [p.650]
