New Rochelle, June 7, 1839. First day afternoon.

Esteemed A.

I will write a few words to inform you that the way seems open for Eunice to leave New Rochelle day after tomorrow or third day to visit Schaghticoke. She will probably remain at home until next first day. I hope it will be convenient for our people to send those little items which I have named before. FIve weeks to day I was at Rose Street meeting in New York and heard the loudest sermon on the Vices of the City, that has been preached in that house very lately from Rachel Barker of Athens. I guess if you could hear her preach once, you would (after it) believe in womens preaching. What an absurd notion, that women have not intellectual & moral faculties suficient, for any thing but domestic concerns.

Received, (with respects) a Rural Repository, last fourth day which was the third of the month, with the most pleasure imaginable, every word in it was lovely, particularly the piece that was marked. I should like very much to hear about all the parties on fourths July [?] hope you will give a particular detail of them in your next. I should like to step in and see how they look at Centre house falls, writing on travelers & gentry. I can tell you what it is. I feel really lately I have written two letters before this several to day, I was requested in the last letter to mention all the enormous mistakes in spelling, butt to tell the truth I am so glad to get the letters, I do not look at the spellling or writing.
