My Dear Friend,

Yours of the 23d reached me in due course. I thank you for your kind expressions and regret that it will not be in my power to visit you at Newbedford before the annual meeting. Should you find it conv[en]ient to come to Lynn I shall gladly welcome you, whatever may be the result of our meeting. My family are very well.

I am in great haste very

Sincerely yours

Frederick Douglass
