User-Contributed Transcription won't they any day get mad with you and half kill you? Well you must console yourself while you stay, by trying to do them all the good you can. I wish you could be here next week to Thanksgiving. Frances is going home, and Mother is coming this week. She and Jane are going to try to get along with the work a while if I will be eyes ears and memory for her! I did so much want to go to Milo to Thanksgiving or sometime this winter, but shall have to give it up. I suppose. Charles and Albina are coming to make us a visit the first of sleighing. I suppose Samuel will go scaling again this winter. I wish he could get some other business. He has been surveying for a few days past. One surveyor has moved to Boston, and another licensed as The liquor seller of Bangor; so there is quite a scarcity of help, just as every body is in a hurry to get their lumber surveyed and vessels off before the river freezes. I tell Samuel he ought not to survey now a few days in the most uncomfortable part of the season just to accommodate, unless they will give him an appointment to survey next season. He is hoping now that they will. He is saving out lumber - has engaged a house frame, and a joiner to put up our house next summer. Is'nt that nice? Mr. Tebbets is to do all the joiner work for $400. Frances has been to our meeting & L.Y. all summer - She has been very much interested, and seems to be serious. Regrets to leave the Sabbath school - She is very ignorant particularly in regard to religious truth. She says she thinks Universalist parents do very wrong to neglect
