User-Contributed Transcription I received your letter, Jennie Monday or Tues of last week and should probably have answered it immediately if I had not been very busy. I went down to Utica Wednesday aft. and didn't come home till Friday night. Father took the horse to Utica Monday and went from Utica to Waterville in the stage. Fry day morning we went with our horse and buggy to Floyd, and came home after the afternoon meeting. I had a very pleasant time and if I wasn't afraid of tireing you I would tell you about it. I believe I will come there to do it any way. Eddie took me down to the depot where I waited nearly an hour for the cars. I felt somewhat afraid of venturing to Utica alone. I was so little acquainted with the city, but I found no trouble. Mrs. Robert Roberts was going to the meeting the same time, so I sat by her in the cars, and had her company to cousin Mary's gate. She was going to her sister's, a little further on. I found Mary and Lettie both well. Ebenezer Jones' wife, one of Mary's neighbors, went with me to the meeting that evening.left margin:P.S. Lizzie wished me to give her love to you. I wish one of you would try to write to her. Cousin Margaret has got a little daughter. I didn't get to see her when I was in Utica because I didn't know the way. Samuel Roberts is to preach in our church Sunday eve. and has promised to stay with us overnight. He staid here the first night of the meeting. It was very, verytop margin:may rest on you and your school. Anna is much the same as when you were home. Pierce's health is better, I believe 4 of our last winter schools mates were up a little while this morning. Please write soon and will try not to write such a tiresome long letter next time. Mother is pretty well, rather better than she has been. So is Pa. The rest are usually well.Love from Sissie
