Dear Mother We sent a letter and book by W. Sanford last week, but having heard nothing from you I don't know as you have received it: I wrote to have Lucy come as soon as she can, she can board to Mr. Cutlers at 7/6 I suppose though the price was not mentioned. The school is just the right sort for her, and I shall need her help. I have 50 scholars mostly from 10 to 15 years, get along very well so far: Lucy will need for books, Smith's & Colburn's Arithmetic, Lucy's Geography and any atlas, National Reader, Grammar writing book and National Spelling book. She can trim up that old black & white straw as well as she can to wear to school and I should think her bonnet would look quite as well trimmed with blue because there is more of it, but I don't know. She had better I guess stop Mr Cutlers first because her things must be left there: - If Eliab comes to bring her he had better stay all night with Isaac. Isaac has sold the butter for 5,00 lacking, 2 cents. shall we send it up or pay it to Mr Hatch? I wish you would write very particularly all about your affairs and calculations for I want to know about it. The interest in religion continues, there are more than a hundred young converts and many inquiries, but Isaac is rumored, putting religion far away from him. - thinks he has not time to attend meetings much. Mrs. W. has not been at all well for a few days; her old girl that she expected has come now. Mr W. has sold his cow and wants to buy a good heifer three years old or so, when he can turn her out to grass, he would pay money, said he saw a heifer yesterday that he liked for $25 but don't want to buy just yet, perhaps C. could sell him one of his, for money, and would it not be better to sell one cheap. for the sale of money?
