User-Contributed Transcription Bangor Sissvieve? June 30Dear Folks omnes This letter s for an Apology. I have written two letters to you already to day. My apology for this is that I cant spare time weekdays and there is a good deal of Sundays. the three meetings per day and S.S. do not take more than 5 hours, and I can not read all of the time. For the abominable appearance of the other letters I can pardon on the ground that, I happened to have a lot of half sheets etc. in which would not make compositions.! As for the miserability of the writing, I would observe that, I took an old poor Goose quill because I could not write fast enough with a steel pen.Instead of going to meeting house this P.M. I went to hear Mr. Weed, Temple Missionary, he calls himself. His temple is great and made without hand, being the open air
