I was glad you wrote me about Mrs Betsey Tucker and Mr. Samuel Chase, as Sam Tucker [Samuel P. Tucker] being here just now, I was able to tell him what you wrote concerning them. He was glad to hear that his mother continued so smart during the cold weather.

Then you wrote that Henrietta Parker was married about a year ago, which was news to me or else if I ever knew that she was finally married I had forgotten it ere now.

Then again you wrote that Mrs Sewell, heard from Abel P. Lawrence quite often, so I conclude that he is at present away from home although I had never heard of it before, and now you did not write whereabouts he is but merely said he was teaching school and getting $28.00 per month for doing so.

When you answer this, please write me where he is teaching.

Give my love to Charles and Harriet and remember me to Uncle Bradly [Bradley] and family and all others of my friends. Tell them all that I am well, and intend to come home sometime, if I can get there.

Sam, and Chas, do not know for a certainty when they shall start for home, but I guess not at present. Mrs Graves (formerly Miss Chapin) is living at Columbia and Louis C. lives there with them, Augustine (I believe I wrote you) went home about two months ago,)

Your loving son

H A Parker [Henry A. Parker]

[written vertically in left margin] Monday eve, Jany 15th I am as well as usual this evening. Sam. [Samuel P. Tucker] & Charles left here for Columbia this afternoon, all well. - I noticed a few days since, the marriage of Jackson Lewis, of San Jose, Brother to Crosby Lewis. --

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 --
