User-Contributed Transcription There are at present about 20,000 inhabitants in Lewiston and Auburn which lies just over the river. Johnny took Anna and me out riding last Tuesday and we went over to Auburn on a floating bridge - we had a delightful time - but I cannot tell you much about it lest I fill any sheet before I've had half my say.They are building a very fine residence just opposite here and John Eddie finds a great deal of pleasure going over there - the carpenters who work there board in the other part of this house - and he went first there with the little son of the people who live here. Mr. Nevins, the man who puts in the windows and I don't what else - asked Eddie if he had an aunt Cynthia, and if his uncle Robert used to take likenesses - his wife I think used to be in Saratoga when you and Sara were there. Do you remember her? He toldsecond letter long before this - we should have been right glad to see father here but it would have been too bad for him to come full of anxiety about us. - I should think there was no need for you to hasten any more about gathering the winter apples - they will get no harm out now will they. It must have been pretty heavy lifting carrying those asters etc. up stairs. Does pa want me home to help on the Cenhadwr? I have not written to br. Eddie yet.All join in love to you all - Sister Jennie
