Granby Conn July 25, 1871. My dear sister Abby: I ought to be whipped for letting a month go by before answering your good letter. But O, dear, I could'nt help it. The "Circle" Kept teasing me to meet here, and so I had to prepare for that. That is the house, from top to toe, they brought food, I did'nt have to cook a thing, and what was left lasted nearly two weeks. We had a real nice time, about 40 present, and they did up the dishes after they got through so I got along nicely. Two of Mr. Osgoods sisters from written down left and top of page
