Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription time since, and she informed me that you and Miss Sarah had an idea of going to Marietta to take charge of the school there, I really wish you were coming farther out, for I would like very much to see you both again. We are moderately well, my family is just recovering from the measles, we have suffered very much with that disease, there are not less than thirty Cases in the village at this time, aside from that there is no sickness scarcely, as the doctors say "it is distressingly healthy!! When I look back at the time since you have been away, I scarcely know how it has passed the most of the time my professional labours have been very heavey, but occasionally time hangs idely upon my hour, so far as the duties of my vocation are concerned, my business is inconvenient and "For it doth like an ill watch go Sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow." You may thank your stars that you missed this profession, for I believe it is the most disagreeable one on earth; but I will conclude. I believe I have written you a parcel of nonsense, please excuse it. Give my best wishes to your sister, and be pleased to receive a portion unto yourself Very Truly Yours,SM Hobbs
