Marysville Sept [September] 25 1853

My Dear Sister

By the two last Mails I have
I have reced [received] the Bucks County Inteligencer [Intelligencer]
in which I found a great Deal to interest me.
That Rail Road from Attleboro, Massachusetts will rather
astonish Some of the old fogies in old Buck
& by the last I see you are going to have a Steamboat
on the Neshaminy [Neshaminy Creek]. I rather think that she will
have to be pretty light Draft to go above the ford
at low tide. I do not think that the Steamboat will
do much. The Rail Road may amount to something
it seems Singular to me to talk of Building
Rail Roads and such things in that quiet old
neighborhood it may be done but in my recollections
it will be always the same old Place they
may alter it as much as they will it will always
seem the same to me.

I suppose ere this reaches you Will Ruan will
have gone South again. I wrote him a letter
by the last Mail in which I Strongly urged him
to come to California provided he could either
get a certainty or bring some two thousand as
upwards of capital he could do better in five
years here than in twenty five in Florida.

How I wish Murray would Sell Flushing
