User-Contributed Transcription Dear Brother Mary and Eliab are going to write to you so I thought I would put in a few lines. I heard you arrived there safe. How do you enjoy yourself there doing nothing or going to school.. How does Dear little Lucy get along, and do you like her. Do you have to take any care of her? I should like to see her very much. What did you do with [gov-mandising?] Tut! Did you eat her up or what! Eliab and I go to school and Mayo stays at home and does the chores. The Masters name is Hutchins the ministers son. I believe he is a pretty good grammarian and We heard he defyed any body to bring him a sum that he could not do: Maris Hill has gone to [unclear] to keep school, and Martha Lee to Williamsburg. Charles is keeping school at Sebec , How does James, Almeda, and Ann do? Have you been into Ann school yet? Why does not Jane Does answer my letter? You must study there at home while you do not go to school.Downny reed her 2Thimble 6Tea ware 2Buttons 50Batting 50Melosses 50Sugar[postmark] Boston Aug 9 MS[image]Mrs. Anna M. MetcalfMilo Me. Penob.
