User-Contributed Transcription Esther at you Uncle William's, spent 2 days with the people on the Brock Warwick seems a lonely almost deserted place all growing up to woods and blueberry bushes. Maria Stevens lives there on the old farm carries it on to pretty good advantage I guess and takes care of her mother who is very much broken down and silly and was sick when I was there but when well does a great deal of work. Braded hats enough to amount to 25 dollars at 5 or 10 cents a piece for braiding she is as close and loving as if there was danger of starving if they did not save & keep to herself every half cent. Maria is smart & energetic buying & selling like any farmer had no hired man when I was there but took care of her horse & cattle & every thing herself. Joseph is gone to Brattleborough I regret that I couldn't see him. I did not see Humphrey. I did see Ardelia & her lame son a short time, they came out to sister Conants he is in a most pitiable condition unable to walk these four years running Sores constantly on both his legs tis a wonder he had lived so long but they think he is getting a little better now. I saw Esther Goddard & her husband & children at her fathers
