and it is only by fits & starts through the day we can remember it is Sunday.

It is a great cause of discontent and unpleasantness. As people do not stay longer here than they are absolutely obliged to - Did you receive the circular of this place that I sent you? Lord night I must close we are expected to go to bed at eight and I am always ready now. I have benefited much by the quiet & rest here, I do hope you are both well now, My best to you both and to all the other friends, Sincerely your Cousin Libbie Williams

Mr A wrote me that Cousin Edward was in Chicago. I felt so sorry to miss him. Please give him my love and tell him so, excuse a badly written and badly composed letter, I wrote it last night and was a good deal tired, they want me to go to Davisville on a visit when I go to New York I will all depend how I am I would have gone there instead of this place, had their institutions not burnt down
