success while I have been in this country, but never
mind, I expect "better times are coming."

By the mail of the 20th inst I not only recieved [received]
letters from you and Harriet but also one from Mr
T. two from Mrs T. two from Miss Lizzie Lewis & one
from Miss Lydia C. Tucker all of which were very
acceptable & I was very happy to hear that they
were all enjoying good health at the time they
wrote, a blessing which I hope they may long be favored
with, It appears that, Mr & Mrs T. & Miss L. wrote me
by the mail before the last but for some unknown
reason I did not recieve [receive] their letters until the last
mail arrived consequently I did not write them
the 15 inst but shall do so today. ---

Friday Sept 30th. This is a lovely morning much the
same as you experience at this season of the year

I am as well as usual & I hope you are all well
& happy. Daniel Wright came down from Columbia
yesterday (where he has been at work with S. P. Tucker [Samuel P. Tucker])
& he will leave here, for Pepperell tomorrow morning

I suppose you know his family, (Mr Abel Wrights.)
They live over at the south part of the town.

Daniel, goes home on account of feeble health &
will return again in th Spring if he regains his
health. He has kindly offered to take a letter to you
if I wished him to, so I think I will send it by
him as you might be glad to hear from me by some
one who had seen me. Sam Tucker [Samuel P. Tucker] is well & will
remain at the mines during the winter ---
