one letter to us this long Winter. I hope you are all well at home; we have all been uncomonly well the Boys have been to school ever day this month; they have their Examination next Friday, and after that a Vacation of a week, & They have not forgotten any of you at Warwick, they talk a great deal about you all, and Milly the Horse in particular. We were quite disapointed to hear that Mr. Bancroft, asked so much for his place, if he had offered it for two thousand dollars Sumner would have come up and looked at it, and no doubt would have bought it, three thousand dollars is a great price for his place so far in the country that would purchase quite a nice place near Boston. What did Mary mean when she said in her letter that she was glad to hear that we had made up our minds to come to Warwick to live. (I do not see much prospect of it as yet) I supose you would like to hear about the Cousins; they are all well as far as I know, Abbie Lamb's folks live in Boston this winter, she has been over here once this winter, and Agnes, has been here once, she is teaching school in Boston as usual. Fannie Stewart has been down and staid a fortnight with me and a very pleasant visit we had together. The Belding girls were all here in the fall and made me a visit, Annie and Sarah are at work in a Carpet Mill at Clinton about 40 miles from here. Emily is there also going to school. Brother Samuel and little Harriet are at North Chelmsford, the baby is at Somerville with sister Mary. Mary wanted I should send her a couple of pieces, that Sumner spoke at the examination of his school. I think I will copy them of here and get you to send them to her if you please. I may not have an opportunity to write to her as soon as she wants them, if she gets home before I write to her, give my love to her and tell her to write to me, she can afford to write two letters to my one, as she has the most leisure time. We all send our love to you one and all. I hope you will not be so long answering this as I have been in answering yours. I must now close for by the time I get those verses copies of I shall be half asleep so please excuse all mistakes. Cousin Marie
