hotel, new york,

hotel, new york, june, 185. My dear wife polly your letter is just received, and grieves me enough, god knows. You must know, dear polly, that riches are not got in a day, nor is fame gained in a week, though a man may be popular and not have money enough to get a shilling dinner. And truly, since i arrived here, so much honor has been showered upon me that my shoulders are scarce broad enough to carry it all. As for those who make up the government of this great city, i have come to think they are not to be trusted for if my good nature would recompense them for the respect they have shown me, my common sense is not to be shut up
