I am very glad to hear of the restablishment of your health. You must be careful not to permit your work, or taking care of "Our husband", or the trials of patience of those girls, or company or any thing else, wear you out and make you sick again. To take care of health is about the first of duties. But I will not tier you with any more homilies upon this topic. If it were thought necessary, I should rather prescribe some of the old ones! The best we perhaps would be to send back to you some you have given me - even one in your last letter. Why do the Third Parish Church, Centre Church, do you call it, Why do they leave the Hall they have occupied. Why does Hannah Moore to the West teaching? Did I not understand that she was - of property? Has Samuel more of business and care at the Mill than he has had heretofore? It must be more convenient for him to live so near. Is Eliab full of business now a days?
That Daguereotype of yours, you know is my property, and to be kept for me. I left it as I did many other things I wanted. I did mean to keep that & Joseph's with me all the time. But now I am not located any where in particular, and have nothing with me. If I ever live long enough to have a home or even a place of my own, I shall begin to gather my possessions together. If I had any place for them I think I might perhaps find I had quite a property of trumpery of one kind and another. I declare I am almost disposed to get me some little brown wife sometime and try it. Much obliged for your catalogue of my books at yr. place.
"Elements of Law" I guess belongs to Joseph. Smellie I wish you would send to Joseph when you have opportunity. He wants to read it.
Old Joliffe I will give to you or any body that wants. Hactimus I thought I had given to you long ago when I first brought or carried home. Evangeline also I thought was yours but if you do not claim that I will
