Bangor July 21st 1839 Dearest Mother also brother Charles was down here Friday and gave me a letter from you, but I hardly had a chance to speak to him. I saw him coming in, in the morning, as I was out hoeing praties. but before I had eaten my breakfast, and got down town, he was gone; So I dont know whether he got some money of Morren?, or sold his wool, or got me a ? on Me! I have been tryingunderlined to prepare a composition, also writing to Ann about some book etc. to day; rather worldly employment to be sure, but I am hurried, there is great scrabble, in school now about review and preparation for examinations? There is one thing which I want a little advice about. I expect that James ? Walker would be very glad of an invite to go up to Milo with me and make hay a spell. Now the thing is would it do? considering etc. He would have the tactunderlined to see whether he wanted I spose, but I think he would like to come if he were urged a little. I should not have written now except for this, as I wrote so lately Somehow I thought Charles did not look quite so well, healthy, as usual, when he was down here. Is his health good now? I did not have a chance to see or speak to him, hardly at all, I don't know whether he noticed me in morning, or not, I was up to the farm with Mr. W. and James, hoeing potatoes; but he took the Centre St. so I could not speak to him. I have not hardly concluded yet, whether to run home and go to haying before school is finished or stay and take the consequences at the Examination. I have been trying to hammer out a composition for a about a week. As I had nothing to write about and nothing to write about I could not make out much. I have been trying to espatch up something, by taking a peice out one book and a slice out of another, a line here and a sentence there, twisting it every way, but I fear they will convict me of Plagiarism I could not do any better no harm though as I can see
