Ann Oct. 1851 of whom she gave you an account. Miss W. saw with her once in? traveling in the cars Miss Fike called him her brother and he appeared rather slenderly endowed by nature in sense. One cannot travel much without being struck with the strange anomolous beings to be met with in the world. I do not recollect your old scanty cloak, was it dark blue? - a white drawn silk bonnet is all I intend to have new this winter yet I shall not be able to lay by much. My handsome black silk and journey last summer makes a difference in my savings - my board now costs 2.25 per week including fuel light and washing. I have just purchaed Webster's dictionary, an octave edition with synonyms, yet containing all the words of the unabridged, the authorities given in that, are omitted which puts it in smaller compass. it costs but $2.63 1/2. I purchased too at Zanesville a beautiful edition of Pollack for $1.00 the size of your Scotti unclear, also recently 'Noble deeds of American Women' by Mrs. Sigourney; have you seen it? I should think you 'lot' very cheap - as to the locality I have the idea that it is not a very pleasant neighborhood but perhaps it has improved it being far from meeting is the only thing to Portland: she has not enjoyed her visit very much. I was very much shocked to hear of Mrs. Furber's death: how little she thought when anticipating so much in going there that it would so soon be her grave;poor Mehitabel it will be hard for her, and very afflictive it must be to all of them, Samuel must feel it much, the more that she was so far away; how death is realized, when it enters the family circle and she takes away a well beloved one, especially it must be hard ot feel that mother forever forever vacant on earth.
