User-Contributed Transcription truly sorry you should have had such a wearisome, painful week for your last week in Bangor. I think it unpleasant and very fatiguing sitting for Daguerreotype but business with the dentist is worst of all. You will be glad enough to get to Dunbarton and I fear you will be sick there so as not to enjoy your visit with your friend. Mother feels troubled about the summons for her contained in the letter just received, is disinclined to go and thinks her children will not find in any picture what they see in her, which maybe partly true but we think it will be a very great gratification to us to have her portrait currently painted. Tues. Sept. 7th I intended to finish and send this at once but various hindrances were in the way to prevent. I have not been well for several days, though not sick. Mother too went quite beyond her strength in assisting Almeda before
