Rochester Dec. 14^th '66

Dear Father,

Both of your letters were duly received finding us all well. Invitations keep pouring in. Yesterday I rec^d. a letter from Ticknor and Fields with cheque for $100, which I handed to mother for safe keeping also an english letter. A letter here from Mary E. Kendall Plymouth Mass. states that Dec. 19th, the Buckley minstrels will have the Hall, and they wish you would give them some time in Jan'y.

M^cElroy of Syracuse writes, can you give them an evening bet. Jan 8^th and 17^th. I had a letter from the boys last
week they were well. The equal rights Convention has just broken up here it was very well attended. M^r. Remond took tea with me last night after calling on mother. The weather here now is very cold

with a little snow. We have taken off as much of the hill as you desired, leaving it a little sloping towards the road.

Ticknor & Fields say they will publish the remainder of your article in the January number. I am waiting at home, Libbie sends her love.

Aff. Your son,

Charles R. Douglass
