are except to Isaac & Nettie who highly approve & I intimated something of it to Elias If Mallie had come I intended talking with her more fully, perhaps the better way will be to let the matter rest until her vacation which we think she may unclear down east & then determine the future. A Chandler girl from Forcroft, who remembers back Isaac & me, has invited her to go home with her & would be company for her on the journey --- Your plans in respect to my spending a part of next season at Milo write Libby is I must confess a very inviting one to me in many accounts, I have no doubts but it would be highly beneficial as well as pleasant, but there are objections & obstacles which make it very improbable. The doctor's Western bonds are turned into "dead lends" for the present, requiring outlay (he has just sent about 100 dolls to secure in) & while Halem is away at school we ought not to journey much, if this objection were not impreferable, I do not see how I would have to doctor lonely & alone, & he could not be absent from the Bank long. Perhaps Isaac & Nellie can make a unclear next season & you & Charles return with them. Charles cannot do a better thing for his boy than to send him & Isaac for a few years & perhaps his absence may be no damage to Josie. With a great deal of love your Affect.unclear Anna.
