User-Contributed Transcription Bangor - June 6, 1851Dear Brother Isaac,I received your good letter yesterday just as I was preparing to go to Hampden to visit my friends, The Crosbys. I hasten to answer it today, hoping it will reach you before you leave Westfield, not because I have any thing in particular to write, but because I suppose you will be glad to hear from us. I am sorry you were no more successful in finding business. I hope you like the luck better in NY. You were a very good brother to write to me - I did hear you come back that morning, & I was not sick after my supper, though I must confess to suffering from a horrid dream or nightmare in the night - a hideous looking man stared at me through the window - I laid it entirely to "Oliver Twist" and old "Fagin" the Jew, however, rather than to host fritters!James arrived here about noon Tuesday with the cows, somewhat tired and lame. He intended to go home today, but on my own responsibility I decided to keep him here til Monday, that he might have more time to look about, see the inside of a meeting house and wrote to his mother to that effect. He seems to enjoy life finely. There was a great fire Wednesday, the largest for many years. Broke out in
