You will miss Miss Chislett very much when she leaves, I believe you said she would be home to day. I took a hearty laugh over your description of Jacks arrival, but I thought you would bring Ellen home and I should see you, But dont come until you cannot help it for I assure you the heat is intolerable and you would wish yourself back again as soon as [underlined]we had our talk[underlined] out [underlined]. I wont offend again by saying you only like me & write to me on Jule's account. I wont indeed, I do it thoughtlessly. I am so glad to hear there is no prospect of another fight: fro I assure you i was very uneasy, I have scarcely a hope that you can read my writing for I am so careless about it.; I was quite shocked to hear that Curf? had returned to his old ways , for though I feel but little interest in him I am always sorry to hear of any young man drinking.

I will use all my influence to prevent her singing with Ginnie, who might possible strike by chance one true note in a day, but she is not to come up until Mr Marshall returns and as she is to marry Dr Morgan, she'll soon drop off. so after all it's no matter, Your Sally is much better, Lizzy says she is getting well, Henry Israel says you are to be here on Saturday evening, I wish I knew whether it was true. if I though it I would not send this letter, but keep every thing to tell you, I want to try and answer all your questions. I did not ask Till? who told her, but I presume Mrs B. Oh! do you know that in telling me Miss Chislett sent for something you left out the word, but from what follows, I presume it was our daguerreotype she wanted. am I right? Rather rich isn't it: I suppose she want to have your
