User-Contributed Transcription I was Called upon to prepare a question. Being but few person in attendance I offered this resolution Resolved that Lyceums and Literary Societies are deleterious in their influence to the intellectual interests of our village. We had a fine audience. Then we let them have it in irony for so little interest in literary. The School is not so large as when you were here. Mr Walker is a fine fellow Makes a very pretty speaker. He is bound to get a female teacher soon as Alice will quit. I hope you will be able to Send us one in time.Mr. Collings has sold his tavern Quincy Hall and leave here Christmas.We have had the dryest fall ever known in Ky the mills are idle for want of water. I should like very much to see you. I have rather a lonesome time now no girls to see. In love with no one. The Church monopolize things here with the girls.I could spend the evenings so pleasant were I with you now say upon some metaphysical subject. Say is the image of the day running a long the stream a part of the day have you forgotten that. I suppose we shall have to discuss Free Agency again this winter. Give my respects to every body that knows me Write to Me Soon.Yours Joe H. Wright.
