User-Contributed Transcription We all pay our fare - pain has its sizes even, it tells us when we have gone astray, happy is he who heeds its warning voices. I have taken a few extra baths and am now well. Miss Howe & myself have just now eat a whole musk melon and each a mellow peach (8 o'clock P.M.) I do not read as much as in the Summer confined principally to the Water Cure Journal, a few political speeches and common newspaper reading. Bro. at N.Y. has sent me papers, one containing the doings of The Women's Rights Convention at Syracuse NY. A rev. Mr. Hatch from New England showed up these conventions in glaring colors at this convention, much to the annoyance of these wise-acres. Rev. A. Bolton has published his views of Spirit Manifestations in a neat 18mos of 26 pages. I have read an extract in the Tribune which was even more wonderful than any things I have yet seen. I read Harper's Magazine the last No. is intensely interesting or what I have read. Palaces of Frances & Napoleon Bonaparte by John S.C.Abbott are of this class.Aunt Dolly Jennison has passed from the world to her spirit house in a good old age. Died Sept. 23d in much peace. Mother and I visited her during her sickness which was short some 5 or 6 weeks. Mother was unable to attend the funeral. So she, Mrs. H. George and myself have twice visited her grave at Philipston. was buried in the same yard that contained your departed friends. We thought of you in your far off home while we stood before those beautiful monuments erected by affectionate children. We spoke of your good mother and her last days, we had never seen her but we know her dutiful son & daughter. I pulled up the weeds from around the flowers & shrubbery planted
