not bought any young stock yet. Yesterday Rev. Hughes and wife took tea at Mr. P's and Jane was in here a short time. Politics is all the talk! Prohibitionists are strong in Remsen and make some considerable feelings among the old Republicans. Oh, may God guide all aright so that we may not be cursed by ungodly rulers! Never before has it seemed so important for all true men to stand by their country and cast their vote on the side of light as now - never I ought say given the days of the antislavery struggle! We are reading the sermon in the Christian Herald. Talmadge has some very stirring ones on the evils that threaten our land. While I cannot agree on his way to remove them, I do see that the evils exist and it will never do to give the Democrats the power to make the evils still greater. Have you written to your father yet? I am sorry you neglect writing oftener. It is not time lost to write letters and I for one mean to do more of it! Mary writes that she has written to you. Are your college duties very taxing? When does your society meet? How did you succeed on your declamation? If I rightly remember you were appointed to speak. Wish you would keep us informed about your doings so that you may not seem so entirely cut off from our knowledge. I say Seth yesterday and he says Johny writes home twice a week! Timothy Griffith is expected home to vote. We have not seen Franklin for nearly three weeks - she is some better of her cough. Hope we may hear from you tonight. J. & A.L.E.
