Letter signed Henry Davis, Lynchburg, to John F. Darby, St. Louis, Mo. Reminds Darby about correspondence from a considerable time past respecting that he sent a hundred dollars to Darby so that Darby would decide whether or not to send it to his son, Alexander, because he trusted his discretion. Henry Davis has never written to Alexander on the subject at all. Henry hears that his son is for the most part well.
