as healthy at Elyria as at Milo I want very much to be kept inform'd what your cogitations, inclinations, destination, occupations, & determinations, are - I believe I wrote you that Mary Ely is here - I have written to you pretty often & cant remember what I have written & what I have not - Maria has a large Flower stand with 4 shelves full of plants & Hattie & Mary have just been down to the greenhouse & bought 3 or 4 beautiful ones in bloom one splendid gilly flower 7 or 8 great stalks full of blossoms - E. & his folks are a very pleasant family - and all flourishing finely & I can see nothing but what E. is likely to get along bravely thro' all his perplexities if he does get all paid up & squared round to suit himself he will hold up his head wont he especially among business men I fear I have written more nonsense than you can well afford time to read May God be with you & keep you & bless you in all your ways your loving Mother
