My dear wife

Tell Jno & Brodie & Lucy, and all the rest of the "Great Easterners" of the family that we want to go [to] [ ] Wednesday - day after tomorrow - Leave here at 7 -40 AM. take the steamer in Balt at 10 AM Arrive alongside the Gr. at noon. Stay 2 hours, get back to Balt. in time for the Washington train at 4.20 p.m. Round trip $2.50. I have not seen Betty since I got yr letter and therefore can't make any arrangements as to accommodations. Betty does not know whether she is going. I reckon it would be a nice trip for Dick & Dave. If you think so, and they too, let them come along. Upon second thought Wednesday will be too soon. Thursday will be the day. I'll write Tom Bold we are coming Thursday. I'll bear Nannie's expenses too if she will come along - tell her I want her & Betty to go and to go myself out of civility to Bold. The trip would knock you up.

Thursday at 7.40 AM we shall go - let me know who will come. Love to all.

Yrs.

If the boys & Nannie come, they should leave F'b'g Wednesday A.M. What of the trunk I'm to buy?
