Crosby $2.15 Went to Milo Jan 1st came home the 5 your mother came with me you pay us a visit she has written you to day and I suppose give you all the Milo news. Father has determined to sell his farm and go to Minnesota in the spring of 1851. Had a letter from Olive while I was at Milo. She has one of Mrs Judson's birds in her nest now some two months old. John boards with us this winter attends the Hampden Academy. Jan is here does not go to school. I have no business this winter but what I can create at home. Lucy is very busy this morning doing her baking so as to go to Bangor in the afternoon with me. she send a large peice of her love which you will please to find in this same envelope. Swarzy? in acknowledging the money I sent says our a/c with W&S is wrong in the insurance item they charge $4.00 you gave before? $1.45 you explained that to me once but I have forgotten about it. Have not ans their letter perhaps it is not necessary. About your leaving Waterford. If they keep their house in operation stay. If they shut down? if you feel that their is any probability of receiving help from the water treatment go to Brattleboro if you can as easy as to come home unless you can have as good attention somewhere here as there you know best about that matter is there any water here suitable for you. I want you to continue the water cure system untill you feel satisfied or as long as you feel that there is any chance to receive help I do feel that I wish you to make a further trial of system. I am considerably at leisure this winter and you may consider me at your service if I can be of any assistance to you. either here or in other place
