User-Contributed Transcription Boston; Friday Oct 25th 1850Dear SisterI arrived here Wednes. Morn before breakfast - at Mr. Chase's:- well, but somewhat fatigued,- had a fine time on my journey expect I shall talk you all out when I get there. I shall have so much to tell, there is no pleasure is writing any thing when I expect so soon to see you face to face. Yesterday and day before I took to get rested,- chiefly:-- to day, have called & dined at Mr. B. Metcalf, and engaged to spend tomorrow and Sabbath at Dr. Pomroy's: I have not called at Mrs. Child's think I shall not;- but perhaps shall on Mrs. Ball. I intend to start next Tues. P. M. in the case the boat leaves Portland in the evening reaches Bangor the next morning so if nothing happens to prevent I shall see Bangor next Wednes. morning. Your card I will endeavour to find on my way down Washington Street tomorrow.I wrote to Isaac that I should be in Boston this next Sabbath and asked him to come here and see me- I suppose it costs him nothing to go on the railroad if he can spare the time possibly, I think he will, I want very much to see him, do'nt know when I shall unless he can come and spend the Sabbath here. In haste Sister Anne
