User-Contributed Transcription children with them I think; Lucy and Willie. When do you mean to come home. All things considered, I have about come to the conclusion that I better not go after you, that is always, if you think you can come alone well enough and think it is best &c.
If I do not you will of course stay just as long as you think best. We are getting along very nice here and can all summer. If your are gaining in health & strength and fat & spirits &c. &c. and May also, there where you feel the fresh salt ocean water breezes every day. You had perhaps better stay and keep doing so.
It may be for your health to stay there all through the hot weather. We can get along first rate without you - or if we should be sick or any thing the matter we could telegraph to you and you know it in an hour or two any time.
If you want more money I can sent it any time whenever you want. Let me know how much you have and write often & fully
I Metcalf
Your Isaac
