User-Contributed Transcription Jennie and I took tea there and then went around till nearly nine. Tell Miriam that I went to see Laura Griffiths and gave her the money. Laura was pretty well. Robert says he is going to take my Photograph today and perhaps you will see it walking out there before long. Brother Robert was very anxious to go to Saratoga last Saturday, he was intending to go in the early train P.M. but was detained and then a lady came in just as he was starting to take a later train for a likeness and he hurried and took an impression and then went to the Depot leaving Peter to put up the Picture, but was ten minutes too late for the cars Jennie said he could hardly relinquish his intention then, but had some thoughts of going in the night train, which would not reach Saratoga until Sabbath morning but I suppose he could not quite bring that, to harmonize with his convictions of Sabbath duties. I intend to go home this afternoon. I am quite ready with the exception of one thing. I have not seen Nettie Hibbard. I am sorry for that but I do not know where to find her myself and neither Jennie nor Robert have much leisure. I am right in the center of the city now and it is altogether to noisy a place for me to tell how much I think of you all or to send love or messages to our friends. I dremed I was there again last night but I am not. I am going home, to our own dear home
