User-Contributed Transcription your letter was unsealed when it got here two a pages not stuck ?? Charles & Lucy Mar 29 1848 H & Sargent affairsMilo Me Mar. 31, Mr. J.M. Metcalf Bangor Maine[bottom and cont. on right-hand side] I have written in such a hurry I hardly know what I have written. Suppose Miss More speaks her wishes, which are certainly very natural - only in the imperative- Mean to write again soon. Do send my brush and comb which Ann says are at your store, by Samuel if you see him tomorrow - next oppor. Miss More is quite a little Poetess, is'nt she? Send me some more. Great haste - must not stop to write now. good bye. Sister Lucy.The sentiment of "the grey hair" is not quite correct, is it? Or is it only a ditty without intention of much sentiment Almeda wants to know if split Palm Leaf is to be obtained in Bangor -pretty fine - if not she wants to know immediately so as to send to Isaac before he comes home, if he comes.
