Miss de Yturbide= N° 1344 Spinse Street= Philadelphia. My dear Sabina: I have received your letter of the 29th of May, with the one which is enclosed by Pepe Malo; and your letter for Pipe is now on its way to Mexico. But as one good turn deserves another, could you not do me a favour? It is possible that I may pass the summer away from this place; but the hotels at the springs are horribly dear. Novor Jean thinks of no place except Bethlem, and I should like to know not only the facilities for reaching that town, but likewise what kind of hotel can be found there and the price of board & lodging. Can you give me any information on those points by asking it of some friends without trouble to yourself? At all events, let me know as soon as may be whether you can do so or not. I have received a letter from Augustin C., dated May 1814. He appeared to be in good health. We are all well. Compliments from Mrs. Green, love from Reno.
