want to send some word down. Sisters Margaret and Sarah annotation (S.M.C.E.) /annotation were here last night. They came up a little while before supper. Margaret went down right away, and Sarah staid all night. She went home sometime when we were gone to school today. They both send their love. Have you been down to Utica lately, or seen Robert and Jenny, or either. Were they both well when you saw them last. Have you been to see Lucy Stark lately, and how is she and how are all of our folks at Whitstown? Can Sissie talk much of any yet? Sarah Marih said that Johnny and sissie were not very well when she was in Utica. I hope that they are better now. Are they not? Tell Jenny when you see her that I have not read that book through that she left home, but I mean to before long, and then she shall have a letter. Please to tell Robert that I am expecting an answer to that letter I sent him last summer. And that if he dont write soon he will have to pay interest. Ellen Roberts is here now, she sends her love

  Today after coming home from school. I have but twenty minutes to write, for John says he is going down to the village so soon. This is the third time I have comenced this letter and and whether I shall get through this time or not I am sure I cannot  tell. Henry came home last friday night and Saturday, he Eddie and I went to Sarahs to coffee, not tea.  When we got  there, we found Sarah had got the table set and the coffee steept waiting for us and the milk which we were to bring down
