User-Contributed Transcription annotation 1850's /annotationDear Sister I promised when I left home that I would write to you and I now hasten to do so. I am getting along very well now in my studies and in every thing else only that I want to hear from home very bad. To-day is Saturday and I have not got much of anything to do, but to speak. Last evening after school the girls, (Mary and Elizabeth) went over to New Hartford to see cousin Thomas and Mary, and I am going there too, to-day. Tell Father that I don't want any more money now. I had $12.15 when I first came here, and I have now got a little over $8.50. My money accounts are all right, only I have a cent or two more than I can account for, so that if Jane writes a letter to me she must pay the postage. I want to know very much how Father is. I heard from Uncle that he was better and that is all. I want too come home and see the folks very much. When they have a concert at the close of the singing school in Remsen, I should like to know, as I should like very much to come up there and see you at that time, if Father and Mother are willing. I still continue too board in the "Hall." I like it very much there. I study Algebra, Philosophy, and Gramar, I like Mr Farnham very much as a teacher. My hand is getting tired so I must stop. I shall write again soon. Tell Jane to write to me "right off." Love too all from your affectionate br. Henry
