Turin, June 16, 1866 Dear Sister Mary Last Wednes. evening Fannie Roberts and I rode down to Turin with her brother John, when he was going to the cheese factory, and went to hear Mrs. Douglas from Madison Co. give recitation before the reading circle Eddie went with us. It was at the Pres. church. Some of her pieces were good and well recited. On the whole, I enjoyed it much and found it a pleasant diversion. As we were coming from the church, we heard a tin horn whistle, and they said, "the stage has come". So we waited till the mail was distributed and I was rewarded by your letter and all those papers. Several of our friends were in the store,

written sideways in top margin: Mon. eve. I'm quite well, had a pleasant time Sunday and a pleasant school today If one of the girls would like to wear my jockey, they may, only let me know, and I'll get one here, or else, if you can, get mine pressed against Eddie comes from round crown or any shape
