Mr. & Mrs. Farnham unclear are expected here Wednesday. Mr. O'Daniels' exchanges with Mr. Goldsbury next Sabbath. Mr. Goldsbury has invited Charles to go to Athol with him. His health is pretty good, we are all well. I'm sorry you are not well Abby. You must try and get all well soon, will you? If I was there, I'd fix you something to take, and soak your extermities, and rub you, till the blood would bound all over you, and then I'd tell you the funniest story of something I did and said once after you went away to prevent a reaction, and then be as ever, I know, But Abby you must be very careful of your precious self, Will you? And you must write a trifle oftener, "and it don't signify," for mother feels so bad, if you don't she can't endure it. You said you was going to write to Rhoda, Emily, Maria and Charlie. But I hope I hav'nt got to wait for a letter till after all that has been done. My! I should have the fever and ague, but in the East. You must a write a note expressly to me in each of them. And what to think of that husband of yours I really don't know! Here I've been expecting a letter, a nice good long letter from him, whom I'd just begun to love, and call my brother, for seven long months! Please do just ask him if he knows his sister Mary is getting nervous on his account. When I consider too, that my two brown eyes never had but two or three glances at him, and a thousand miles intrude themselves between us, and there's no telegraph - and I'm not at all sure but that he's forgotten he has a sister, oh my! 'tis awful to think of and I must change! the subject. Now Abby, what a splendid cloak yours must be, if you was here, so I could see it, but I can imagine what it looks like. I like your delaine dress very much you must send me a piece of all your new dresses. I keep them choice you're anticipatinh coming home you say, so am I - won't we have a nice talk over? Don't forget a single thing that's happened, for any thing . Please write me soon. sis Mary written down left hand side of page This paper is miserable I believe.
