Now as to the Fourth the goings on came off yesterday. That is Will and Mary came home from their trip to Albany and Schenrelady on tuesday. yesterday they had company mostly from Russia. The Roberts family were their all but John. He is in Rome and none of them came from Rome, they were expected however. Pierce and Rob unclear children were till Monday? and our girls Jennie & Sarah, that is all from this way. Anna and P did not feel able to go. I have had a severe headache for several days. They had a pleasant time and are coming down to see us next Monday that is, the Ames and the Roberts are coming to visit us that evening. We expect Eddie to be home of course and perhaps you. Dont you think you had better come? Do you think it would derange your school for you to leave it for so long. you see for aught we know. the fourth, as we expected it to be, is over already. Father expects to go to Floyd to temperance meeting that day. Come home with Eddie if you think best we need not say we shall be glad to see you. Hope some of us can come there before long. Eddie told us about this visit to your school. Said he found things better than he expected from your reports. Good bye with love from all, Mary.
