Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription Covington Ohio Dec. 11th 1852 My Most Worthy Friend Kendall Glad indeed was I to hear from you, after so long a delay in our correspondence. I had written you several letters to which no answers have been received. My address has been quite permanent for the past two years. I generally have some place to which if letters are directed to me I can get them although I may have changed my location. I have often wondered and inquired where you was. Did not know but you had made some desperate trip to some foreign State even the blissful State of Matrimony! But it seems not, or you would have mentioned about it. I hardly supposed you could have lived the bachelor's life to the age of 28. Don't you find it a lonely path to travel? I begin to think it about time for me to set sail over love's varied billows and seek the realities of a union of hearts. [left-hand side and top and right-hand side] Your Friend Kendall Let me hear from you often. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to hear from my old friends. Remember me with much respect to your sister Sarah. Say to her I had a letter from Elvira a few months ago. She is living at Blue Island Ill. It must be very pleasant for yourself & Sarah to be associated together in teaching. My Heaven bless you ever in the sincere desire of your devoted friend. N. Gleason
