I have written to Milo again lately, but it is a good while since I have received any thing from there. My last reception from there was before the freshet.

 What do you means by your insinuation in respect to Charles W Rich Esq. & Miss Albina Kittredege?

What is, at present, your line of conduct towards the (so called) 'fair Sex'? As Usual? Of What sort are your Boarders, there at Sylvesters? What is Eliab's conduct in relation to Society? Does he get acquainted with the young men about any? Any others? Do you see Anne except at Meals? Why do you not take exercise? It is a pity if a smart young man, no lazier than you has a right title to be, cannot get Exercise? If you cannot, split wood, as I do, or find any thing else to do out doors. Get some Dumbbells or some heavy pestles and swing over your shoulders, to exercise the chest, and not walk, but run, and that up hill, when out door exercise for your legs & body & blood.

  I will try and write better and more like a letter another time,
 Please write, on receiving this, soon.

And write frequently, and, if you please repeat my injunction upon Eliab

                                                               Yours Fraternaly
