Dear Brother - I cannot stop to write much as little Jamie's waiting to carry this to the Office, I besieged Charles about answering the questions, till in self defense, he sat down & wrote himself every thing he could tell, he says. Of the revolutions in Europe, and of matters in our own country I desire to know much more then I can find out. No papers. but Mirror, ? only short notices in that. It is outrageous that we here can not get hold of a single new book, periodical of any kind, not even a paper that tells much of what is going on. I know a little something about the doings in Paris. Should'nt have known much if Samuel had'nt told me. Who laughed at me? All did their share. Almeda most - Ann some. But I don't care one bit about it. As you say, if they had'nt I should probably have been spoiled the other way. With regard to coming home - the 17th of May is concluded on. You must not come before, unless you will come then too. Mother & Almeda want very much to have you come soon to talk etc. but I cannot think of all the rest being here & you away. Now really, you won't think of any such thing will you! Come right off, and then too, won't you. Am afraid Eliab will be tired of waiting for his shirts. They are all ready. Send by
