To Caleb Parry Wayne

Dear Sir

I got here this evening, & immediately afterwards recd your note. As I am extremely impatient to pursue my Journey, I must beg the favor of you to meet me in the morning at Grays ferry, which I presume will be equally convenient to you as this place. I shall leave Frankfort in the morning about 5 O'clock, and expect to be at the ferry about 7. This will go by express car by enough to enable you to meet me by that hour. I am respectfully yrs
