Summary
Was delighted to receive her letter of April 15th. His high esteem for her husband, and his entire family. Doesn't think she would find a visit to America very pleasant, for there is but little social life. A deleted portion refers to the distinction between esteem earned through merits and respect attained through mere titles.
