pecting to be absent on a visit among my friends at the est. Can you not give us the pleasure during the month of April? I would suggest Thursday evening the 21st inst. That would give the people moonlight for their home going; & in other respects would be very favorable. Any other date after the 17th, however, which would accommodate you, would be agreeable to us. It will be a kindness if you will take the matter into your own hands & notify me as to the date. Will you also kindly state to me the terms of which you will come. Hoping to hear from you soon and favorably I remain
Sincerely yours
F. B. Perkins.
