above Mr. Jenks. She is a very fine girl. Her equal is perhaps not to be found in these parts unless it be Thp Furber. She has been house - staid a few weeks, and gone again to Brunswick N.H to work in a cloth house - folding cloth - has three dollars per week I believe besides her board. She means to earn some money, I guess. Olive has closed her school - is at home now. Cathy Hill is going to meet her in Boston. Folks say 'tis quite romantic to elope but not quite so much to elope alone! Your horse is as good as a kitten & stays quietly in the pasture of growing fast. Albina and I have some idea of using him now and then as Charles don't like to have us drive Nelly but don't hardly dare to drive a strange horse. Charles and Albina went to Dover the other day - got the Insurance business all done up right as you said. They carried wool intending to buy cloth and manufacture Sunday pairs of shirts for you, but the wool did not hold out much more than to pay what Charles was owing Brown. Don't know whether they will get away for you at Cushing's or not. Mother has taken my sheep- so I have got rid of them! I have written all the gossip, news &c I can think of, considering I have been working, and have written three other letters today, as long and longer than this, and containing about as much valuable matter. When Moses gets there to help you, I shall hope for one of your "correspondence letters" occasionally. However I am willing to wait patiently when I know you are proposed with business. Good bye Affectionately Sister Lucy
