they have concluded to teach school this winter I hope they will succeed well & give good satisfaction tell them that it is time to be thinking about it so that they can get their mind all made up to keep a first rate school. I suppose you will be for trying it next summer shant you [Drib?]? I suppose the boys are teasing mother half to pieces to get them ready & you tell them to be- still ma'am and ma'aming - & come over or let Sam & bring to me sewing or something they want to have done & I will do it for them. Now I wish they would for I should like to help them some if I can, & I had rather not come home until Thanksgiving week, to stay. & yet have I could not do a great deal then before they would go to school you write & tell me what Mother says Oh Abby wont you going to give us invitation to come home to Thanksgiving Mother Tyler had, but I guess they will not both come [illegible] yours is the 30th of this month is it not? I am trying to mend up my old red dress! I began it yesterday & I don't get ahead very [fad?] - it is so ragged. Danford says if I don't make it look pretty nice I shall find it down in the rag-barrel! have you got any winter in Warwick today we have I can tell you - is snowing now. Danford returned week ago last Friday. I sent a letter to Sarah & he called to see them. & the Brother David Sarah has told us about went with him. he says they come right out & say they are going to be married!! he saw all the folks & they were all well. He bought me a real pretty muff. it is a grey one & the prettiest cranat you ever saw when I come home I shall bring them. He bought some fur but I don't know as mother will like it to trim Marys cloak with but I think it is pretty for the kind he could not sell any other kind here because it would come so high, but you tell Mary Gimpings are more fashionable than fur & we have got some real pretty.
