My Dear Sir

                        Please again accept the sincere thanks of M^rs Stanton & myself for another token of your kindness received yesterday. The fruit was in excellent condition & very welcome. M^rs Stantons health I regret to say shows no sign of substantial improvement. Her cough and debility continues and I am very apprehensive of the effect of the cold March winds that now prevail here. The season has been very unpropitious. I trust that you and your own family are well. I have a gossiping letter in store for Miss Sanford whenever time and spirits will allow me to write to her. For a month I have been disabled by rheumatism in my right arm but am better. Yours ever

Edwin M Stanton
