entered into conversation that engaged my attention and I soon forgot to be afraid. Oh Sarah how I wish you were here it would be so pleasant. we would room together, and I could attend your grandma Jackson has just been here (and when I told her who I was writing to she said I must give you her love to all of your father. Sarah how I wish you could get acquainted with her. she is one of the best women I ever saw. I wish you could hear her talk about the slaveholder. she sets them off just as they should be. she says she would not go to hear a minister preach that was not an abolition. she thinks it would be encourages them, and she dont want to do that. she had a letter from cousin Mary Ann last saturday, she said that Oteline was not very well. but was attending school Uncle David & Aunt Hannah were pretty smart

Has John and Sarah returned; how did they enjoy there visits; has Sarah's Miter? broke his heart so it can not be patched; how are Lewis and Margaret; and last how are all your family? Now cousins I think this must do for this time next I will try to have a little longer Tell Margarett and Sarah I am a going to write to them as soon as I can but if they have any mercy for me they will not wait for a letter from me before they write. Is Jane at Utica now; I wish you would tell her I would be very much pleased to receive a letter from her and would try to answer it directly. Now Cousins wont you write very soon for I haven't heard from any one since I came here. Remember to write soon, and have Sis write to.

from your aff Cousin Lizzie

P S Please give my love to Sarah and Margarett Jones. & my respects to Mr T Jones I expect to hear from May every day.

Good bye. Lizzie

I have been here a week last thursday
