Topsham Nov. 15th 1846
Dear Mother
I received your letter about a week since; it, as usual, did me good. You may not get an answer to it yet, for a week or two. I am intending to send a parcel of letters with a package to Bangor by some one pretty soon. So though I do not expect to send this immediately, I thought that this Sabbath Eve, others having retired, I would scribble off a few lines before getting into bed. My Chamber feels most too cold however, to say nothing of the shadowy spectre, undefined enough, I assure you! of the morning's lesson warning me to bed that I may get up in the morning time enough to study it somewhat.
16th Well - I guess I did not write much last night, and now I find I must send my packet, if at all soon, tomorrow . So, I fear that two or three of the letters I was intending to write will fail. also, I was intending to send unto some of you a Daguerreotype picture of my very important self. ut that also it seems will fail: I have 'set' several times but do not get any one to suit exactly.
