User-Contributed Transcription chamber & perhaps put on Blinds to the windows this summer & fall - If I go to Mass. I think I shall go when Anna goes in August & if I can will persuade C. to to New York in Sept. or first of Oct. and come back with me I think it would do him a great deal of good he says he had better not go because it would make him discontented when he comes back he never goes away even as far as Bangor but it makes him feel that he dont want to live here - He never has been fully contented here do you think he'll live along so till he dies or move off somewhere when he gets to be an old man if he lives Eliab had some expectation of purchasing land in Pennsylvania & Charles was all agog for going there if he did E. has probably written you all about itI receiv'd a letter awhile ago from Mr. George B. Newton of Marblehead Mass. requesting information respecting a Deed of the Farm that your Father owned in Royalston - Now own'd by him by virtue of his grand Fathers will - Says he cannot find the Deed among his grandfathers papers nor any registry of it at the office I have just written a letter to him - and I guess given him a Clue by which he can find it - thank to your arduous labor & night vigils in arranging and filing away my old papers so nicely a few years ago which enables me to do it "good boy well done" - I hope you'll give my little grandson a name let us know what it is soon - I suppose it to be very "fortunate" if he inherits his Mothers disposition as it would be so much better than any thing he could inherit from his Father however that may be I expect he'll be a right smart young Tucker. God be with you & bless you my children
