a single cent for my board & lodging for the whole fortnight
but said he would board it out with one when he meets me in
Pepperell. For a few days after they left I missed them very much
& felt rather lonely, still I was better satisfied to remain behind
as I did not think I should be able to do any thig [thing] at the
mines. & since Sam has returned I feel thankful that I did
not go for no doubt had I gone I should have been sick.

But to come again to the blankets my best friend After they left
for the mines I went to the store that I sold out and made
arrangements to sleep there the same as I used to do as I sold
my bed reserving nothing but my blankets which I would not
part with on any consideration whatever. Since that time
the last of Sept. they have again served me for bedding & prob-
ably will continue to do so for the present & as it is now gitting [getting]
late I will once more crawl into them hoping that you & I
Brother & Sister will enjoy a good nights repose have pleasant dreams
& rise tomorrow morning in good health. Good Night HAP.

14th Sunday 1/2 first 2 Oclock [O'clock] P.M. A dull rainy day.
Am well & have just returned to my lodgings from my
work at the market, where I have been through the day

How much pleasanter would it be to be at home with you
& to help you eat your Sunday dinner which I know is
nice & which to me would be a feast. Would it not be
pleasant to seat ourselves once more around the table & par-
take of those dainties which it was your pleasure to serve
up to us children? How often do I think of the comforts
of home while now denied them. The value of which I never
appreciated while enjoying them, but I must now content
myself with letters which I hope to recieve [receive] from you often
