To James B. Pond
15 July 1884 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS, in pencil: NN-BGC, UCCL 02582)
Dear Pond—

All right. Webster will fix up the contract with you.

Give Geo. W. v our love & the enclosed letter, & tell him we are all exceedingly glad the home new homeⒶemendation is satisfactory, & we propose to look in on him when we get back home.

If people begin to write me about these readings, I mean to forward the letters to you unanswered & depend on you to think answer them. Is that satisfactory?

Ys Truly
