   Dear Friend
   I have returned from
New York had a pleasant visit, and
took supper and breakfast with them -
M Johnithna May, Bertha [Kitty?]
Harold Calder and Albert, they all
asked kindly after you and send
their love, had supper in Brooklyn
with Caleb Pink who is going to make
his home in London.  Mrs Ingram
was going over to see you today but was
afraid to venture on account of so much
rain, but I have been to the Prison in it
all and had a talk to 2 poor Chinamen
there, what a wretched system we have
to treat our brothers worse than animals
New York is the same only more so
everyone seems to be striving to catch
the biggest raft afloat on the uneven
ocean, what a struggle to survivethe stream what it all means
I am at a loss to know or what
it will lead to who is to say
but it will be all right I suppose
I have to take the next train
home and send you these few
lines in a hurry  Mrs Ingram joins
me in kind love to you
   From Your Friend
   Wm Ingram
