User-Contributed Transcription Milo Jan. 1st 1844.Dear Brother Isaac I wish you a "happy New Year." For myself, I believe I am not quite as happy, as the ushering in of this New Year as I should be, were I in the enjoyment of perfect health. I am, however, I think, convalescing; and that you know is encouraging. My lameness is entirely removed, but I am very weak, (much more so than when you was at home) in consequence, I suppose pf Puking Calomel. I have done Puking it now, and hope to be about again in a few days. I suppose I exerted myself a little more than I should, by sitting up so much when you came home. so that I have not been so well; but if I am careful I shall be well soon I think. We recieved two letters the very day after you went away; one from Mother, ditto from Ann. I want to send them to you, (and would were it not for the postage) but instead thereof I will tell you the most important news contained therein. Ann, when she wrote, was in Boston, but was going to Warwick the next day. She had been to Woonsocket and spent a week; And Mother & Eliab had spent a week in Lowell.Jan. 3rd Mother writes that she found Uncle Enoch's folly trying to be very genteel & fashionable; live in very grand style. Enoch thinks it is altogether too small
