User-Contributed Transcription Friday morn. -- Miss Colegrove says she is going to take our letter to the village this morning and she wants me to finish this so to send it with theirs. And so I will try to write a little more now although I have not any thing to say. We have been expecting Cousin Henry to come after Elizabeth and bring Letitia up to stay with with us a while, all week, but he has not come yet. It is a great deal harder for me to write than it is for me to talk. When I sit down to write to any one I can not get near enough to say but when I get talking with them I almost always, if not always, say more than I ought to. I guess I will have to make believe I am talking, but still I do not think I can very easily make the pen quite as agreeable a companion as the tounge. I must say all I have to say in a hurry or I can not send this with the others. I have not seen Henry since the evening of the donations. Mother was down to see him not long ago, he was quite well then. I must stop now. with much love. Your sister Cynthia
