User-Contributed Transcription teaching. Expect him home in a few weeks/ Enoch is in a Counting Room here, the same I was in before Almeda went to Milo. I am now engaged in teaching music; teach the Piano Forte and singing, and have a salary for singing on the Sabbath at the Episcopal Church. Is music taught in your Academy? and have you ever attended to it? How far is Milo from Portland? I was at Portland last Summer and spent several days. It is a beautiful place, and I enjoyed myself finely while there, and think some of visiting there again this summer. Have not heard from our friends in Royalston for several months; then they were all well. We have had beautiful Spring weather for several days and the prospect now is that grim old winter has really departed, and I for one am heartily glad he is gone, and hope he will take a long journey ere he troubles us again. The past winter has been the severest ever known in Mass. and immense quantities of snow has fallen. Well Cousin Lucy this is the first letter I have had the pleasure of writing to you and may it prove equally as acceptable to you, as yours was to me; and is this to be the close of our correspondence? I hope not. As Isaac has broken off our correspondence by not answering my last letter, I shall now claim you, as my future correspondent, and shall expect to have the pleasure of receiving another letter from you soon; and my dear Coz, you must not disappoint me. Remember! Give my love to all of your good people. Father, Mother, Sister & Brother also wish to be remembered. Give my love also to Cousin Lucy! and beleive me Your Affectionate Cousin Isaac N. Metcalf
