User-Contributed Transcription if you do not come. I must not speak of myself, you know what I hope. But still I fear it will be too hard for you to come. Dear Mother how I wish I could see you and know how you are, and dear Father, too. Miss Williams, my room=mate tells me often that I look like my Father, and I love to hear her say so. She is the daughter of John W. now deceased, of Deerfield. He used to preach once, I believe, but for some time before his death he was a drunkard. I think of it this moment for the first time, can she be the daughter of the woman who used to write to Father some touching letter with references to her dissipated Husband? Miss W. says that Father married her Father and Mother. She seems to think a great deal of you. I went to Utica Saturday and had a few teeth filled The dentist said they were decaying now very fast I want to have only those filled that would get much worse by being left. He filled 5 charged 4.75 From his rooms I went to Cousin Mary's Had a nice visit there I went with Mary to church Sabbath morning and with Ella to the First Church in the afternoon and evening. Heard Mr. Sinclair, a gentleman from Scotland speak on the temperance question. In the evening he addressed the children. He is a very interesting speaker. He has organized a great many Juvenilee Temperance Societies. Uncle prevailed upon me by a good deal of urging to go home with him. I did not like to go without seeing Mary. Ella went home with Mr. Lewis' people, and Hattie Wolcott and I wrote a note to Mary next day. Uncle brought me up with his horse and cutter Mon. morn, while if I had staid to Mary's I would have been obliged to go to the depot against 7 o clock, and then walk from the cars again to Mrs. Ellis I did this a week ago from Tommie's and Mary's Tommie accompanied me to the depot and purchased a ticket for me the marginal text appears in full on the next page
