User-Contributed Transcription Bangor Feb. 24_1852Dear Brother IsaacYour last short letter of Feb 7 we received yesterday, as also a longer one dated Jan 30, a few days previous. We have not received letters from you now so often this winder as we did last summer. I hope there have been none lost. I am glad your health and spirits are so good, but beg you will flatter yourself too much with regard to their remaining so. Though the warm weather, if you should decide to stay there.If you do remain, you will of course come and make us a good visit. We shall be willing to wait for it till midsummer, if by so doing, we can have a longer one. I seriously warn you not to come East with the intention of stopping but a day or two! I want, if possible, that you and Anna should arrange matters so as to come together_it will be so pleasant for all. I wish we might be established in our new house before you come, but we shall not probably move in before the last of the summer. One week ago yesterday Samuel and I went to Milo. We had a very pleasant visit_staid three days. Albina seemed good, pleasant, agreeable and sisterly. Charles, the same good warm-hearted brother as ever. he is a noble man, though circumstances are such that all do not find it out. It seems to me I can feel and appreciated his self-sacrificing goodness
