My dear mother
Yesterday I walked over to Hacket's pond
in the afternoon a found is still almost covered
with ice which however was very rotten. Next
Seventh Day I expect to go to Boston and will
try to call upon Mrs. Rotch and then go to West
Medford. It has looked all day like rain and I
think it will come before long and hope it will
not be snow instead. I feel very well W.W.S.
