Eliab sent a letter in a package containing the instructions of Dr. Osgoods, mailing it two days ago. I have been some what disappointed this week albeit living most of the time almost a recluse; The Vestry of the new church is finished & one room called the ladies room in which the Sewing circle is held has conveniences for heating water and a closet for dishes. last evening was the annual meeting, a public invitation was given to the supper provided picnic fashion- by the ladies. we sent a plate? jelly cake - and every body was there.

We hope to get another letter from you this week - are anxious to know of your health. Love
