Andover June 1826.

Dear Sir

Some time since we received a letter from
you which was of a gratifying nature inasmuch
as it spoke of your own prosperity
and your good will to us. I should have
returned an answer before now, had a convenient
opportunity of sending it presented.
As it is, I have concluded to write
not knowing exactly when or how
I shall send it; it is hardly worth
sending by mail. It was a pleasing circumstance
that you lived with us, in such
a manner that we can think of you
now and hereafter with satisfaction. There
are many things about this place the mere
mention of which would doubtless be interesting
to you, but as I know not where
to begin, I shall say nothing of them. I
saw Crocker in Boston a few days ago.
He is about the same old sixpence. Dix
