If Henry Dunbarton is sick, I would certainly write to him or to his sister! Comfort and sympathy with the sick and afflicted by all means. We have had some very warm weather lately, but no showers or rain for some time - hope there will be soon. Take care of yourself and not get sick with your wettings and fatigue. Lucy thinks of going home next week. I am well and strong as before I was sick, about and can do nicely with Jane's help and Lucy ought to be going to school. Mr. Temple came down here the next morning after you were here, and staid all day. He seems to think a great deal of Lucy, and to feel very much interested in Milo generally. We think some of going to the Seminary to return his call, see the curiosities etc. this afternoon at his especial request. He attends church at the Hall every sabbath forenoon. What an odd fellow he is, but a very good man I think. He seems to think a great deal of Joseph. I love him for that! The old City Hall has been moved back, and is being fitted up for the use of the Third Parish Church, temporarily. Prof. Shepperd is to be our Minister for the present. Hannah Moore is engaged to the Hartford Association as a teacher for the west - going very soon. There
