Dear friend, a ***** experience shows these figures: 15 $ by Pistal Order N.Y.: 105 shilling 90g--by Am.Sept.Ca, [cadily] here at Bank: 105.83g--by Jel., calling A Dark: 104.701--notes sold here at Bank would bring 105.99.

Thus notes 105.99--pistal order N.Y. 105.90--A.Ex.Ca 105.83--Jel. 104.70--this is in favour of ***tes evidently, as the cost of A.E. ****** must be added, no doubt besides loss of time at ***ds. The ********* ******* at home here.

Very best Christmas and New Year greetings and wishes. Let us keep up health and spirit. This was an ugly year and things get worse all around me. Worst of all is the apathy about ideas and the discrimination, **********, best ****etion of the ideas of some is anything to become english ****** of ****, one more like by ***** *** ***. I hope you *** long better *********. ** *** *** and ****** **** please **** N.
