rained hard all night I believe, and the same about all day. But we all went to Church - Rev Mr Wilburn their Minister--I believe you saw him did you not? A sandy red headed young man is quite a fine preacher. I hope another letter from you tomorrow morning. I do not know yet whether I shall go on to Chicago tomorrow night or wait a day or so. I did really want to go down the Ohio River. I believe nothing hindered me from it but the desire of getting here a letter from you. I believe I directed my last to Milo. Guess I will send this to Bangor for I hardly believe you have gone there yet--have you? I mailed at Pittsburgh a letter to Furber & Metcalf containing plans of their land etc. etc. I want to hear how Eliab made out at Boston that week. I suppose I need not ask you to kiss Mayo for me. Please Lucy too. I did not think I should not see her again before I left. on right side: Special congratulations upon the new shawl much as I admired the yellow one. Yours only & ever Isaac S
