Very Nettie Yours of the 23rd mailed at Concord 24th came to hand last night. Glad to hear of your well doing - expect you are enjoying a fine lot of visiting around old Dunbarton nowadays this week. Ought to have mailed a letter on time to reach you there, but did not send them to Yarmouth not knowing when or how long you would be elsewhere. Presume I should [this line covered by a fold in the paper] enjoy visiting with you in Dunbarton some? Your folks there I like especially well. E.G. Dex. Parker, Capt Whipple, Safford, Chaz Rider. Nothing special to communicate here. Yesterday P.M. 4 oclock, took horse & buggy & took children to ride - John & Anna & drove up to Charles' where Wilder & Charley were making hay very smartly. (Had a mowing machine at work & plenty of business for small rakers, Percy there too), took the boys in and drove around slightly. The Boys are told they shall go to the lake again after you get home. So they have an especial hurry for you to come on that Additional Cause.
