User-Contributed Transcription send linen, I will make them like Isaac's. Your new patent Potatoes are yet in the ground. Charles says they are "doing well." Wherefore is it a bad habit to say Sam? 'tis his name - what he calls himself, and others call him. Shall I denominate him Samuel, or Mr. Furber, with more propriety? He thinks some of staying in Hampden another summer. Had he better, at sixty dollars per month? Wherefore were you sent away from Mrs. Weston's? Should not think you would like to board at Washingtonian House. Mr. Thaxter called it a miserable place - secret rum hole. Sebaru himself is a drinking man. Is it so? Wish you could find more time to write. Sorry you are so continually perplexed and harrassed with care and business. Hope it will not always be so. Good bye - aff. sister Lucy.
