 My Dear Dear boy
                                                 We have just recie'd two letter from you dated July 3 - & 15th Mail'd 21st one had been at Browns there a number of days Sam'l didn't happen to call there. It makes me feel very very bad to think you have not heard from us for so long time. We have follow'd you round with a letter whenever & whereever we knew where to direct. Tho' at Westfield, N.Y. Springfield, Ill. and Locust Hill care of G.B. Root  Perry Co. which last it seems was "not quite right- We have not heard a word from Ann Since    Eliab left here a week ago last Monday and we have not had a letter from him yet he is not generally so good about writing as you.  They were all, as usual. at Milo when we heard from there We wrote you how Charles was here went to Buckland to Temperance Meeting - & Mr. Lee Stop't here on his way to Ms. to open the summer, & Alice Sargent & Isaac Hoxie just from Wisconsin. Mr. Harlow is very kind carries me to meeting for which we feel quite obliged as it is rather far for me to walk

Do you get Eastern papers or learn much of what is doing here, where you are now. Do be taking measures to get on some of the Eastern roads if you can I am afraid to have you stay there
