unenvied routine of Studies and Chores, day after day and week after week till you are tired of it.

 I have more time to study out of School hours now than I shall have by and by I expect rather. when time comes to dig garden souce? etc. cetera. I now milk the Cow, feed and turn her out, feed the pigs, make the fires, dig vegetables to eat etc. besides many little chores. I shall have to saw wood, when it comes winter, if I stay here.

I shall sent it with the other if I have a chance. I recieved the bundle of books, letters etc. from Boston, Mon. 16th and sent part of it to Milo the same night, but it had not been received when Mr. Hatch left there. it is rather a pity that they had not. The books come very opportunely, and were much needed
