Oct 29th 1854

My dear Brother It has been a very long time since I have written a word to you, but I know you will not scold me when I tell you the reason I took mother up to Marietta a week ago last Thursday morning. she got on a boat Friday morning, got to Woodstock Saturday night and here I am at home all alone with Father and Willie. I can tell you I have found plenty to do since Mother left. It seems as though all the travelers know what Mother is gone and want to come to bother me, for I never knew so many before. I received a letter from Gus and George Friday they said brother got there safe and was in very good spirits and health. when she went away she said she was only going to stay three weeks but Gus says she is not going to let her come home this winter. I do hope she will enjoy herself while she stays. she is having beautiful weather now. I hope it will last so as long as she stays. I received a letter from Areli Wednesday and one from Sister Abby Monday.
