Apr. 13th fast day. Do you recollect a year ago when we all kept fast day in my chamber, you were down from your school at Stillwater, Lucy was here, and the boys, and we had quite a merry time considering the day. If you were here to day, you would see me in a loose morning dress, and shawl, - half sick; a large blister drawn on my left arm, to relieve some invitation and pain in my head which has shown itself by ulcer in the ear, and which I think is caused by defective teeth: having a day's respite from school, I improved the opportunity to apply this remedy through in consequence, have been obliged to deny myself the pleasure of hearing Dr. Pomroy's sermon to day, upon The Sins of Bangor, he mentioned the subject of discourse last sabbath; his church was crowded even to the aisles, and the sermon excellent, very plain powerful and calculated to do much good. I judge from Lissie's report: Prof. Shepard has recently preached, and repeated by earnest request, a fine sermon to young men on 'Bad Company'. A few evenings after I received your last, Miss Doe and I by special invitation of Josephine Hall, spent a very pleasant social eve, at her Aunt's Mrs. Veasie's. We met there her 'friend,' Mr. Morse, with whom I had quite a little chat, and like him; there were five or six students among whom were Mason Snow & Goodrich that you know: White, who boards there, and who mentioned seeing you last fall, is I think really interesting, nothing perhaps great about him, but he is so social, easy, natural and pleasant in conversation, yet without descending in the least to small talk, that one cannot but enjoy his society: he told me his mother and sisters are members of Pine St. church. Boston, Abby Bartlett was there and enquired for you, also Angella Dennett was there who has made up again with Everett,and will probably soon marry him. Josephine told me, when I wrote you, to give her love to you, to send merely her regards, she said it was too cold, and common place. There is something that I like much in Miss Hall, something earnest and truthful in her soul-speaking eye. Is she pious and is her friend?
