User-Contributed Transcription I should not much wonder if he should find it a finer & more prosperous and desirable region than he imagines, he has so loose? an opinion of rocky & barren New Eng. & especially cold Maine.Charles will be at home probably two or three weeks before we get there for we find it better to defer our journey till about a month later than we at first intended on account of the children's having the measles; Hattie has just got well over them; was pretty sick; it is time for Libby to have them in a day or two; some other things too delay us, but on the whole I am glad we do put it off. We mean to start so as to be in Boston on the 'Fourth', the proceed to Maine. As to Isaac & family, I suppose you will know before this reaches you, much more about their movements
