Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription I am truly rejoiced that you are coming to take your brother's place, I had almost felt as though it would be going away from home and friends if there should be entire strangers come to take the place of friends in that institution, it would not seem much like last summer for me to go there to school to strangers! Do you think Sarah will come to Marietta with you or do you think she will go father West? I for one would be very very happy to have her smooth the (to we enjoyed path of acquiring knowledge, but I know of one that would be much hapier to have her to smooth the rough & thorny road through life, and be the participator of the joys & pleasures and would repay her so much better than it is possible for me to, that I am very willing to set aside all the claim I have if I have any, - I have often wished brother that I had not said anything about what I hear through Mrs. Eaton of you and Josephine. I am afraid even now after you have so freely given me your confidence (which never should be betrayed while I retain my reason) that you think I was prying into that that did not concern me in the least, and the only reason that I can give for doing so, was through surprise, as I had never thought of such a thing, I had rather supposed that you were attached to Miss Weed that I had heard you and Sarah speak of so often
