Ann. June 10 MM Westfield June 10th /51 Dear Sister Lucy Isaac left yester eve in the stage for Erie, thence to take boat for Cleveland. He staid with me three days much to my comfort. arriving Frid eve, so I had all day Sat. as well as Sunday to see him: he was made very welcome by the family- the horse and buggy offered few a ride about town, so we had the pleasure of a circuit of six or seven miles: It was too windy for the boat, to come in Mond. morn. so he waiting till the evening stage. he intends to go on the Chicago and seek a situation on the new road to be projected in Illinois, unless he finds a chance to spit him about Cleveland,- he feels himself so safe on the pains of health, that I fear he will not take precautions and so catch fever and ague. He might have stopped at Albany this summer, had he been a day or two earlier there. I imagine he feels a little disheartened: he seemed not exactly sad, but silent, not so much animation and buoyancy as usual; perhaps, because among strangers,- he is not communicative enough of his feelings: he has an excess of that shrinking sensitivesness of which we all have a doubt portion. Is it not strange that he is so reserved to his own folks on the subject of his own particular matters, that is, if the affair settled to his satisfaction. What do you think about it? Your letter reached me about a fortnight since..

Template:Right side of letter please write soon dear Sister and Samuel too. I want to know some particulars about his business as well as other things
