week or two; or at least so much that we can take our time for whatever else there is to be done. I am truly very much obliged to you for the extract from your sermon book. A real Congregation Sermon is valuable indeed here, I assure; and I judge your abstract of one is worth more than any I often hear here. Why, I shall get along very tolerally if I do not get a chance to go to Church next Sabbath. I hear from Maine very regularly nowadays My Mother's health appears to be very good. She spends the winter in Bangor, going out to Milo a few weeks in September and October only since last spring. Sister Lucy's health they think to be rapidly improving, comparatively so that is. She has been unwell and feeble you know for a long time. I expect I shall be late in the morning if I stop to write longer tonight. I seem to be somehow established here now for the Winter, but you much expect to see me in New Hampshire pretty early in the Spring. I do not know but I am becoming popular with the new Division Engineer, and he may try to keep me here, if possible next season, doubtless he will, and I could do well here, perhaps far better than to go elsewhere.
