User-Contributed Transcription consider these things. I have written to cousin Mary Anne and will try to write to Elizabeth. I do not know but I am unnecessarily uneasy as when I was engaged nothing was said about time and if Mr. Curtiss is such a strong proslavery man as he is represented to be it would hardly seem right to stay anyway.Our term closes on the last Thursday of next month and we shall probably go up to Uncle's before the Sabbath. How pleasant it will be to meet father there. When Anna will go home with him and if it should be certain then that I do not return I should have to visit John before going home. It seems such a little ways beyond this. What would you think?Spring is advancing very fast, many fruit trees are loaded with blossoms and the leaves daily expanding to the genial breezes. We have some corn growing on some cotton placed in the top of a tumbler of water, It has been planted only a week and one shoot is about two inches high. Anna makes quite a lot of it, kissing it and calling it her darling, &c. May it grow and yield her a plentiful crop.Anna is our postmistress since Miss Sweetland left and goes to the office three times every day. Don't you think R. Eddies or some one might write or send us a paper so that she can find some thing there for us a little oftener than she does now. I often wish I had subscribed for the Herald but the year is so near up that it seems hardly worthwhile now. Could you not send me one or two now and then that I may know something of Utica affairs.Where have Pierce and Own gone. How I wish they could come to see us. If we onlly knew how to direct a letter we would write tot hem. Have you heard from them since they came out? Give many kisses to Katie and baby with much love
