User-Contributed Transcription Remsen, July 22, 1851.Dear Sarah: You will perhaps be looking for my humble self when this letter reaches you. I am very sorry to disappoint you but I think that it will not make much difference with you whether I am with you commencement time or soon after. I should be obliged to go down alone in the stage if I went today and if I waited a few days Henry would take me with Elizabeth and John Henry. Now, as I thought that it would not be very pleasant to go to commencement unless you were able to accompany me I of course choose to go when I may have company. I cannot tell now just when I shall be with you it will be either the last of this week of the first of next. Do not expect me till I come and then you will be sure not to be disappointed. Mary came back from Boonville last evening, she had a very pleasant visit. Our S.S. class recited 324 verses Sunday last, Miss Tanner said 114 of them. Henry took charge of Mary's class. Mrs. Thomas is getting better, there is some hope now that she will recover. John Henry is doing very well up in Steuben he seems to like the country very much. Anna says I must be sure to tell you that your Horse-shoe Geranium is blossomed. The flower is quite pretty. We are going to wash today and I am in great haste so you must be satisfied with a short note. I expect to stay a day or two with you when I go down. We are beginning haying today. It is a beautiful day. We are all quite well and join in love to you. I hope you still continue to improve. With much love from Jane. Gwenn sends her love.
