Transcript

Washington June 12, 1869

My dear Bishop,

I have yours of 9th. I expect to be either in NY or at Garrison on 2nd July. My family will be at Garrison. My house in NY 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 day with us in the country.

Very faithfully yours,

Hamilton Fish
