Harrisburg,

My dear Father --

I came to Harrisburg yesterday afternoon, preferring to stop at Lancaster going down, if at all. I found all well at Mr Wallace's. Sarah is expected home next week. Last evening I spent at Judge Pearson's where Mr. Spriggs & Mrs. [unclear: Fisher's] folks had been to tea.-- This promises to be a very warm day, & I will keep as cool as possible-- The offices of the Mint promised to send the Cents with the first lot forwarded.-- The orders received to June 5 have not been filled, but they make [unclear: exceptions] in favor of certain localities, such as ours, & supply them out of the regular order. I expect to be in town over Sunday, but I don't know certainly. Love to all--

Your

Edward
