so that there are from two to half a dozen wings to spare, tell Albina I should be very glad of them. We intend soon to invite a little company to tea. Prof. Shepard etc. that we talked of before you went away. don't you wish you was invited too? Samuel and I rode down to Hampden last Saturday. The first time I have been out for a long time. Abby Thaxter spent an afternoon and night here last week. We are going there soon. Jane has been quite unwell for a few days. I gave her a rochelle powder yesterday. She grits her teeth at a great rate nights - disturbs Anne ad Eliab in their chambers. Well what a parcel of nonsense I have written. It is 12 o'clock - I must see about dinner - good bye.

                                                                                                                      Daughter Lucy.

I should think C. might do well to get a steady Irish girl, if the right sort could be found it would be good help: or perhaps a man and his wife to work on farm year after year and have a little shanty to live in near by Eliab or Sam'l might perhaps find a chance after a time. I think it quite probable am Irish girl could be got, by trying & you surely must have? some one.
