I am glad to hear that you are getting
along so nicely with all your out-door work
and I hope you are now comfortably situated
for the winter, and that you will suffer
none from the cold weather, that you will
probably experience between now and the
first of April next.

I think as you do that the Orthodox Society
are rather unfortunate. They seem to change their
minister very often, besides being troubled in
other ways. If they can do nothing else I believe
they like to quarrel among themselves.

Wont [Won't] Miss Lathrops marriage turn out the
same as Miss Henrietta Parkers did, think you?

Perhaps her intended husband is sicker now
than he will be after marriage.

Do you think Cousin Mary F. is engaged
to be married, or intends to marry?

I hear that Miss Elisa Leniry is engaged --

If reports are true, all marriageable ladies
intend to make the most of the coming year
to secure for themselves husbands. --

I am glad to hear that Cousin Jennie (as I
call her) is enjoying so much better health
than she has done for two or three years past
and I hope she will continue to enjoy a good
state of health. My kind regards to her if
you please --
