Dear Sir

We remained at New Bedford until Tuesday morning, & then left for Providence intending to come on to N.Y. the same evening. We were however persuaded to remain a day for the sake of friends whom we found it impossible to refuse, & of course did not arrive here until this morning. We regretted much to lose the opportunity of seeing you again, but hope we shall make it up when we go South in the fall. I did not by any means intend that you should be at any expense about the parlour at the Tremont House. I should have been obliged to take one, had we been alone, & it was very agreeable to us to have you with us. I hope you will allow me to refund to you the amount you paid towards the charge for its use --

After I saw you last, I concluded to print my discourse at Cambridge, and as it is illegibly written, I shall reamin here long enough to copy such parts as, I think the printer's [...] can't read. This will take my spare time for a day or two, & I think we shall not leave town till Saturday evening. Mrs Marsh joins me in the kindest regard to Mary & yourself.

I am, dear sirvery sincerely yoursGeo P Marsh
