Bangor Cot 2d 1839 Sunday noon
Dear Mother I got here as Eliab has told you when you read this. I am here at Ms. Walkers: Eliab I feel has a cold side home. He ought to have had some mittens. Send me my gown and my shirt that Isaac had at Barn for with the potatoes if possible. I did go to meeting this forenoon but am going this afternoon. They say that probably (on account of headwind etc.) the steamboat will not arrive here tonight & therefore I will not repost till about noon tomorrow. I have eat dinner here, Mr Walker's folks have got 1 new wrinkle - they take a great long baked potato in 1 hand & a knife in other & dunk it into a bowl of milk & eat it with a spoon like bread & milk. Good bye, Joseph with a poor pen. 1 o'clock, The steamer has not yet arrived. It may come up in the night as there is a good moon. If it arrives in the morning it will start to depart at a new moon. The usual time of the books arrives is 9 o' clock. R.M of starting out M. - but it is very irregular now a days - sometimes when foggy I has not started until 8 in the morning. I am at the present time up in Isaac chamber which is very respectable & warmed by a drum in the stove funnel!! with Isaac's steel pen in my hand, Isaac sitting by my side reading & James S Walker putting on his coat to go to a evening meeting. These drab trousers are rather cold and thin, I fear it will be cool on board the boat with a deck passage. I attended the Pomroy meeting cet apres dinee Text "The path of the just is a shining light that shineth more & more unto the perfect day." Proverbs 4:8 Monday, half past 9 at M The Bangor has not arrived yet but is expected every moment. The Bangor banks have all stopped spare payments & the bills of the Bangor Bank or considered doubtful good - I have exchanged the $85.00 Bangor bank bill ((from Col. see)) for two of the Frankfort bank current about here but uncurrent in Boston - Bank of Newburyport of Portland a $2 - & a $1- good in Boston or anywhere.
