User-Contributed Transcription Topsham Dec. 27th, 1846Dear MotherIt is not long since I wrote to you I believe, only just before my journey, and since I have heard from you: but I supposed you would like to hear from my adventures; and I should think as you are most all alone, your children gone away, that you would feel sort of lonely and like to receive letters -- just as I do. So I will write again. My Journey -- I started by stage Dec 20th Sabbath Eve at 10 1/2 oclock. (By starting then I could be in Boston 1/2 a day to see Almeda; if I waited till morning, I must go straight underlinedthroughunderlined to get to New Haven in season. Got to Portland at 3 A.M.
