User-Contributed Transcription St. Albans spent the Sabbath here in Yarmouth took tea with us Saturday P.M. His health is not good - rheumatic troubles in part - May stayed here contentedly while I was gone - She has been quite a good girl - says she read thru chapters in the Bible this morning - I wish you could manage to get some pictures of the Oberlin men {Professors} some of them, to send or bring to father - He would be very much pleased - Have you tried the children again! What showers you have had. How are the flowers doing? Have the deeds all come up? I wonder if Eliza remembers the plants in pots - It will be strange if she remembers everything - The bell rings for meeting, and I will finish in the morning - I do not know as I shall go, but is too dark to write at any rate - Friday morning - I didnt tell you I saw Rev Mr Clark (William) - It seemed good to see him again and hear him speak Mrs Hastings, who has lived many years in Boston, says J.C. Pratt was Mayor once. Commencement at Brunswick Wednesday Aug 1. Comes just about the night time for you doesn't it?
