User-Contributed Transcription come down with Samuel.If you don't conclude to come back yourself, I really think you ought to. Give much love to Mr. & Mrs. Sargent. I wish I could do anything for them. Mr. Brown proposed to Samuel to be City Marshall today - Dear me! I would'nt have him for anything if I could help it. The stage from Milo here just gone down. I hope Samuel will bring back a letter from you when he goes to carry this. I wish Albina would write too. She is in debt to me one long letter certainly. I want to hear about your cold. Why did you not keep the socks if you haven't any? How very precise & business like Maria's writing looks below compared with mine. We shall probably let Mr. Jordan have about six qts of milk per day. That will help pay the cow's keeping finely - good bye With much love daughter- Lucy.Dear Mother By permission I have stolen a little corner of Lucy's sheet, to tell you how lonely we all feel since you left. There is an aching void, and how shall it be filled? I was quite amused with Eliab, as we sat down to tea after he and Samuel came on Saturday, why, where is Mother? he said, without once thinking that he was the very one who carried you away from us. We are still hoping that you will come soon and finish out the visit you had only commenced. Do you think I need feel under any obligation to attend dancing parties? Perhaps our not
