Dear Mr Marsh

Thanks for the stamps in yours of the 15' just received. They serve me an excellent purpose in many ways. Keep sending any that come to hand except the common Italian. French we get here unless it be of unusually large denominations.

All well here today on this the "glorious fourth." It seems more like Sunday however as fire cracking etc. are forbidden, and the law is enforce. Since Portland was burnt, crackers have been at a discount

With much love to Mrs M we all are

Yours [...]S F BairdHon Geo P MarshFlorence
