had there been a direct communication between here & the Plains I should have come home & seen you as I very much wish to do so, but the difficulty and the expense attending it will prevent me - it is easier to go from here to Geneva than from here to the Plains - Wiliam informs me that you have had a bad cold & have been confined to the house as winter has been very hard & I was afraid you would suffer in your health - but with the prudent care which you always take of your health I have no doubt that the warm weather of spring will find you as well as ever - William I find has considerable influence here and is very well thought of - he will unquestionably obtain a repeal of the road law, and they will be almost exclusively indebted to him for it - Eliza arrived here in good health yesterday - My health was never better and I was never more robust or capable of enduring fatigue than at present - tomorrow I start for Penn Yan and will write to you very soon again. I have written a letter to Stewart and want he should answer it - and I will keep up a correspondence with him which may perhaps be of benefit to him - as I conceive it is of great use to early accustom oneself to put their thoughts on paper for it learns a person to think which many never do during their lives - hoping soon to hear from you I remain Yours truly Henry Eno Stephen Eno
