User-Contributed Transcription remain, if not I think I shall go to St. Sean's, where brother is, he wants me to come, says the people think I should do well. I cannot tell yet where I shall be, but I expect somewhere in the world. Don't you think we will be pretty well scattered; After living together so long now each in a different place. You wished to know what your prospects would be for a school this fall. Well I cannot tell you anything about it, for I know nothing, if we judge the future by the past, I do not think the prospect will be very fair for the school has been small the last six months. The high water injured it I suppose considerable. I do hope you will do well, but I am sorry you do not have a salary instead of taking what you can make. Is Sarah making well this summer. Why does she not write to me? I suppose she cannot get time, so I will not ask it of her. The weather is very warm indeed. It has been a very backward Spring, cold and rainy, untill within a week or too. The 10th of June we had green peas, green beets, new potatoes, and green apple sauce, Now does not that beat your country? You inquired for Jesse. Three weeks ago he came up here to see me, and to accompany a gentleman of my acquaintance, who called at Marietta, to see H & I, and finding us both gone, he concluded to come and see me, so Jesse came with him. He was not doing anything, but I believe he was going to work for Capt Cox, buying produce. he has sold the "Empress" I do not think G. has done much of late, more than running about as usual, and you know a "rolling stone gathers no moss." I have three weeks more of school, then I shall return to Marietta and think I shall remain there untillafter the exhibition, but do not know when. I do hope you
