I am writing by this mail to Catherine who if they return by way of New York will have no trouble in finding out all about the Goodridges as there old place of busness, 84 Broad Street is quite near the hotell they are most likely to put up at, eigher the Astor House or Creterrian and a few minutes walk would bring her to the door of 84 Broad St. It was a very old firm. One letter I sent to inquire for him was returned saying that 6 years ago not be be found but as he went to Nicaragua before I left New York to start a busness there he may be found out and doing well for he was a good busness man. When he first chartered my ship in China to go to Arican for rice and went passenger as far as Sinapore with me I found him a very nice young man. The Councel
