User-Contributed Transcription Tuesday Aug. 19, 1868Dear Mary and Anna, Eddie has just been in inquiring who I was going to write to, on being informed he said, "tell aunt Anna I turned around twice last night and she didn't come home." He did so on hearing Jennie repeat what you said in the village, that you would be home before we hardly had time to turn round. It is now a little more than half past seven. Robbie has gone for the mail that we may have it as early as possible for as you well know we are very anxious to hear from you. There was rather a doleful looking place here yesterday after you left. Up stair and down stares the house looked decidedlysideways at top:or rather as E. expressed it they want him to join the firm not for the sake of getting him to bring in money int to concern but himself. He says that he would not join a firm without ascertaining that it was all safe. but he adds if father fears to lend him anything he will have to do without it. I understood that he has quite decided to go into the business and will start in it Sept. 1. We are having a great time with the rolls in the office. Lewis has tried three different ones and yesterday he tried to melt one over - he has not printed yet and I've not enough type to keep me busy. So I visit some - Much love to Mr. E's family and you both Jennie E
