 Description: BY GEO. LIPPARD, ESQ. “Dear Frank,—My sentence expires in two weeks from to-day. Send me some decent clothes, and let me know where I will meet you. Glad to hear that your plans as regards our daughter approach a `glorious' completion. “I am called away this afternoon to Havana on important business it admits of not a single hour's delay—and if I succeed in the speculation which I have in my eye, I will clear some $300,000. When you read this, I will be on board the steamer off Sandy Hook. I will be absent from four to five weeks. You will at once remove from the house which yourself and mother now occupy, and take possession of my town mansion in Broadway. The servants have the requisite orders; everything will be at your command. And don't fret yourself to death in my absence, darling. Yours, &c., &c.
