Dear Brother Joseph I disagree with you entirely if you think the date of your letter, "June 27, 1849" a proper one You say you do not owe me a letter. Doubted. May 17th 1849. was sent to Post Office a long letter from me: whether it was directed to Milo or Bangor is more than I can now tell. Have you not received it? It was written only a day or two after the receipt of your previous letter; and as I now remember was remarkable especially for little else than an extremely peremptory expectation of your immediate arrival at this place = "Parkers" in Goffstown N.H. {where is now June 3} I am extremely disappointed that your speak in your present letter of going back to Milo. You cannot have got my letter, I know. Do, Do come, Do. Come now. It need not cost but two 3 or 4 or 5 or three dollars to get here, and I will pay all Your Expenses as long as you will stay with me, all summer. You must come. I have set my heart upon it. I shall be homesick right away, if you don't come. Perhaps "throw up my commission", and come right home.

  As to your present position, prospects, prospective employments & situation, we will wait & talk that all over after you get here -- in full.
 As for the History of Europe you enquire for, I am sure I can tell you nothing. If I could go into a good Library I could lay my hand upon the best thing extant in a very few moments, and perhaps tell something of its character; but all that matter is very much out of my line nowadays.
