We all went up to uncle Hirams yesterday to
take Rose home for she was home sick. [Illegible]
came down last night - with a cow to take
to town to sell he had a pretty hard time
to coming through the woods Asa had to
get the horses and go after it for he could
not bring it out of the woods this morni
ng he started for town with it - Asa
went as far as the plank road with him.
Feb 7th 1853 I did not have time
to finish my letter yesterday.
School did not let out last night
till five o'clock I think it is most to
bad for us to have to stay so long in
the afternoon.
Yesterday it [illegible] all day and
to day it is snowing I hope that it will
continue to snow all day so that we shall
have some sleighing, then it is so bad to walk
in the muck.
Have you been skating any this
winter? Do you intend to go? we have not
been but - three or four times sunday when
went up to aunt Genias it was pretty
good skating but we did not skate
any one.
The school is just as full as it can
be now there are so many large tables in it.
