Monday. I've opened this to say that if you all need a journey this
season & have no other object but change why not come to Belfast? I will
not say how much I want to see you - but I beleive there are good
boarding houses. Or if you come to Portland I wd go there to meet you. I
shall move from this house in 2 or 3 weeks - but have no plan but to
live where there is a horse - & salt water - it may be here or ?Themaclore
or at Waterford. It is so indifferent. If there is any thing like a journey
in Maine on your minds write this week. ?Being little ?hope

Thanks for Waldo's letter a week after heard from him
thro' my brother. Will you do me a [favour? & love to Dr & Mrs
[Barttlet?]. Tell them I often think of their kindessses - how he would take
me to rides - his tender sympaty in the last sad sad mile to
Concord. And I remember with gratitude Bradford giving me a wheel
barrow of wood when I first went to Mrs Woodwards and brot it
himself & then carried it up stairs. If I don't ?him do you give
him some token for me. Now I could right this three years !?
My ?nephews sure set in ?bread when On B. sent the ?bread.
