Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription Dear, absent friend You cam not immagin how much good it has done is to hear from you once more, and I think Fred's health has improved ever since. We often spoke of you and Fred had commenced a letter to you the day he was taken sick thinking you were still in Ohio that were very happy to find you so much nearer us and now we shall certainly expect a visit from you as soon as your school is done if not before and shall our expectations be in vain friend and brother? (for so to us you will always seem) We are keeping house now for you know Fred is never easy till he is independent & says you will have no excuse for not comeing and spend a long time with us. But I thought you were not comeing this way so ? how does it happen? Your sister is with you how I wish I could see her remember me to her in much love and tell her I shall certainly expect to see her here before we return to Ken. Fred wished me to say to you that he had had his Telescope repaired and in the best of order and would like to sell it & if you knew, we could find a purchaser would be much obliged if you would let him know. But when I sat down here I did not mean to write but a word or two just to let you know I was once more among the rocks and hill of New England and her I have written almost a page & with a pencil too. Should not you think Fred would be jealous? But good-By for now, write soon and remember me ever as Your friend Emma
