User-Contributed Transcription now? I received a letter from Elizabeth a short time since and learned by that that Mary has commenced her school. Wish she and Sarah would "league" together and at least write me a few words in your next letter. Mary has been very faithful in writing, but I fear lest she neglect me now thinking she has not time. I have almost despaired ever receiving an answer to my letter to John. I wonder if he thinks I have forgotten that he owes me one, Lewis to is still my debtor, they will need to hasten if they settle their account before I go home. I think every member of our ancient league will admit that I have acted right in ceasing to write regularly to them. It seemed almost wrong to take the time, which might be devoted to faithful correspondents, in writing letters that I had little hopes of being answered. I received a letter from Mary Thomas the first of last term never answered it because I could not write more than one a week and every week was a letter due to the league, she wrote me again last week and I shall endeavor to answer that soon.This is the only letter I have had since I have been sick, and I assure you it was very joyfully received. Do write soon, you can form no idea from my poor scribbling how precious are your letters. Hattie has returned from the Mt. she brought me several flowers and stones from its summit. They had a very pleasant time, but are much tired. The carriages could only to to the foot and they had to climb up as best they could. Where does Lewis live now? M.J. said that E. Williams had a shop in his former home. I am sorry to hear that Jane Abrams is not more happy in her married life, I always had a very exalted opinion of Mr. & Mrs. A's kindness for I remembered their good apples and those fat geese he used to bring us. Excuse the writing of this sheet, I hope my next will look better.I will write again soon, do not be anxious about my health. Wish you could write so that I could get it tuesday eve. How is Henry's health now? I hope he will not work too hard. I fear dear father cannot endure the labor of another paper he has already so much to do. I must close with love to all. Jane
