Milo, Maine. March 9 1851. AD. Dear Sister Anne, A letter from you was received here by the last mail. Lucy maintains that she has written one letter to you that you had not received at the time you wrote. I do not know as I have anything to write but I can make a beginning. It is Sabbath day, Mr Partridge has gone to be married, and there is no meeting today.

So I am writing, Lucy is "Lounging", and Mother is looking at her Plants. Did they write to you how I made a trip in the woods with Samuel?

I enjoyed the trip very much on the whole. I could enjoy life very well there, except the Sabbaths which are hard. Since then I have been helping Charles get up wood. We have got up more than a year's stock of good hard wood; more I guess than he has often or perhaps ever had at the door at one time before. 10th Mother & Lucy are commanding me to write more, but I do not know as there is any more to write. Lucy has said all the good things and more too. She plays Back Gammon excessively, and got well slowly My name is Isaac
