My dear [?] Horace I left [nithfield?] Monday [?] 1:35 arrival (without any remark [?] occurrence) in Chicago at 9 o clock Friday evening, an hour late. I hastened by bus to the N. western depot and arrived there in time to see the train leave without being able to get on it. So I had the pleasure of resting in Chicago one night at the expense of $1.00 for lodging and food [?] and also with the feeling of rest in leaving Chicago. I [?] in [?] near 8:50 P.M. and met albert at the depot. I had a warm greeting of course. We had a pleasant interview with each other. We now propose to reach home Thursday at 10. M. Maggie Elberts wife will go along with us taking her baby. I had a good visit with Albert and his wife at lenox as well as Josiah and his family. Albert [?] [?] several questions in reference to your lecture. Before you see him you will have to [?] your lecture [?] [?] in [?] [?] suppose some what.
My suggestion in regard to your own personal history in connecting with that lecture was I think a good one [?] that portion of the lecture some what. [?] By so far is your voyage to [?] is [?], and enlarge somewhat and the state of Oregon 30 years ago and the evidence of progress since that time. You may think it best to give at Brooklyn you lecture in [?] and of the resources of Oregon. [?] best advises you to make your lecture so familiar that you will need your notes very little. That is so as not to be confined to them. You may recollect that was my advice to you when at my house. I wish you all success In your lectures. At the same time your [?]time, not to make the giving of your lectures a [sine gaia mon?] I think is a good one.
Do what you can in that time comfortably and to the acceptance of your audition, and do not be disappointed if there is not a [warmly?] reception or a large result.
May the lord bless you and give you success and a very pleasant time while visiting the East. My kind regards to you all.
Your [?] [?]
