Tues. Eve. 27th. Well, I do not know as I have any thing more to write at present, - except perhaps to ask you to write as soon as possible. In fact I hardly know why I am writing at this time of night, except that I could not probably sleep if I went to bed. I have been in company tonight, something quite unusual with me. I have never been in more than one or two houses in Goffstown. The place a mile or two from here, where I have been frequently requested to call, but have not; one of the sons, a graduate of Dartmouth. ( there are a large family of sons & daughters). I am pretty well acquainted with; and have often promised to call upon him. Tonight I was staking out a Depot nearby. Moonlight, - what a glorious "Moony" Evening - & received a special request to go up. & did. I found two or three there beside the family; among the rest a Miss L. from the other part of the town, whom I have seen once or twice, really one of the most spendidly beautiful girls I ever saw. What a strange fascination there is in Beauty. It is enough to make a fool of even a pretty nice man; especially when combined with moonlight. It is rather lucky for me not to be much acquainted with so handsome a girl as Miss L. Half an hour longer & I should not have slept tonight. I fear I shall dream as it is.

 I suppose they have for that East Room etc. pretty much finished off at Milo. Do you think of spending the Winter there, or at Hampden, or to stay at Waterford? I had a letter from Joseph Stevens today: very anxious to have me come there to Thanksgiving.
