User-Contributed Transcription Nov 21st There are so many dates and parts to this letterI don't know as you will be able to understand it, wehave been expecting and expecting that Charles or Mr. Welchor somebody would go down. But the butter and a letterof instructions remains yet at Bunkins? Store waiting.It will probably go however the first of the week. Do writeto us Joseph; It seems a long, long time since I have had oneof your good "correspondence letters." Don't you ever have timeto write a bit? Tell us all about yourself, your business, factsprospects, troubles and everything. We'd be glad to sympathizewith you. Tell us also about Eliab - his health and everything if hewon't write - Do help him be careful of himself, and let him help you. Health is something which I fear you neither of you really know how to prize. Do try to find time to write once in a while. Good night - Aff Sister Lucy. Tell Eliab write to him oftenon side: Mr. Joseph M. Metcalf Bangor
