User-Contributed Transcription McConolsville Feb 15th 1852Brother Nathan It has been a long time since we have had a good chat together so now let us sit down and talk a while, if you would only say something to set my ideas to work I would be very glad. but you keep very still and say 'never a word' well never mind I shant say much or trouble you long with my presence. I believe after the first compliments are passed between two friends when they meet the weather is discussed; so we will dispose of that, the weather here has been "cracking" cold the most of the time, one morning it was as cold as it was when you were at Keene, but it did not continue so long, the folks have had a good time sleighing, I had one dashing sleighride in such a sleigh as was used in Maine about twenty
