Dear Sam:
A week ago I wrote to you & enclosed a letter from Governor Stuart & asked you to return it immediately. As I have no answer from you I fear that you have lost it - although I would you not to lose it. I expect to go to Benbeby Spain, July 1st & spend a couple of weeks. I hope the water maybe of some benefit to my bladder trouble. How are you & Dolly getting along with Beck?

Very Truly
J.S. Mosby
