p.

and I dont like to enter the list, so to
four score I shall delude myself with the
idea that I am still a "girl." Here is a
good connundrum on the same subject.
I'm afraid thee has seen it though. "What
is the difference between a maiden of
sixteen and a maid of sixty?" Give it
up? "One is careless and happy and the
other is hairles and cappy."

My dear, to think thee's no better posted
about Quarterly meeting! Why, the fall
meeting was held in Farnham and
the next is to be in Ferrisburgh, I believe.
I very much hope some of us may attend
and I at least, shall try hard to do so.
Which is the stronger magnet drawing me
in that direction thee or the meeting.
I don't feel called upon to decide. Even
John Paige, minister, a good one too and
out of Seneca's stamp, came here hoping
that some of us would go to Ferrisburg
Q. Meeting with him, when in fact we
had already all attended it at Farnham.
