I knew very well that there were such family. Her Brother, I suppose, Leonard Merrill, Class of '42. I very well know, Lawyer in Brunswick, good fellow. One of the honorary's of our particular Secret Society, AKE, of course a particular friend & sworn brother of mine.

 You say "People that can talk are scarce". True I suppose. Can you talk? I can not, but I wish much that I could.
As for Miss Little, daughter of Dr. Little of Goffstown Centre, I am quite sorry that you cannot see her. I am happy to inform you that I am absolutely proof against all dangers from such sources.
 I am quite flattered to hear that Dr. Munde's opinion upon Yr proper course of treatment coincides so nearly with mine. Do you not believe that I should have made a good Physician? But one thing certainly prevented: My lack of faith; deficient veneration and marvellousness; and perhaps too much conscienciousness to practice what I did not fully believe. Perhaps if I had then been acquainted with Water Cure, I might have been.
 Your hurt on the head, I supposed at first you referred to the fall on back of head in Doorstone, which occasioned sore & partial baldness. That was many years. I should think it was the winter when Charles went to Massachusetts, and brought back Aunt Esther, then taught school in Kirkland. I cannot tell what year. The Log Rolling scrape, I should think was much subsequent; perhaps 1840 or since, but it seems to have no associations to recall the time to my mind; though the incident is as fresh as yesterday in my memory. Perhaps Charles, or some records at Milo could show when that peice at Upper End of the Intervale was cleared up. Was it during the period of the "Farm Journal"?
