Turner Me. Sept. 28th 1845 I received your letter last Tuesday night Sept. 23d and with a good deal of pleasure, I assure you. I have now been in Turner three weeks & more, and that is the only letter I have received in the time! at which fact I hardly know whether to be most vexed, or provoked, or homesick. However, I find myself so pleasantly situated here that I have concluded not to be homesick, I digest my spleen as well as I can, and revenge myself for my vexation by writing half a dozen letters to different friends, since I have been here, and live upon hope of sometime receiving some letters in return. I hardly see what has got into Brother Joseph: he has been a first rate Correspondent all summer, but the last letter I received from him bears date more than a month since; I answered it before I left Bowdin, and have written him one letter since I have been here, but he does not write. I suppose time seems longer to me being in a new place so. That letter from Milo really did me good, in every respect. Lucy is a glorious hand at writing letters, I only wish she would practice it a little oftener. I should like to hear from some of the rest too. I could not tell from Lucy's letter whether Ann had established a private school at Boston or Bangor. I should like to know! I have only heard before that she was trying in both places, but not where she succeeded
