A letter to Mary Hitchcock in New Lebanon Springs, New York in which Edward Hitchcock writes about Mary undergoing "hydropathic treatment" and discusses some of his recent travels and potential travel plans.

She shares some neighborhood news, and mentions a party the Hitchcocks attended at the home of James Kellogg.
