Hon. Hamilton Fish

Sec. of [Mete]

Washington June 12, 1869

My dear Bishop,

I have yours of 9: I expect to be either in NY or at [?], on 3rd July. My family will be at [?]. My house is [?] being closed, to some extent dismantled as it is questionable if I return to it as a family residence, but I will either come to the City to meet you on Friday July 2, or will be glad if you can pass the next day with us in New Country,

Most faithfully yours

Hamilton Fish

Rt. Rev. Bishop McIlvaine
