How does John prosper in his school? I feel very anxious for himI have not yet forgotten the first school I taught though I trust he is morepleasantly situated, you must give him all the good advice you can?[at bottom]:Mother is yet quite lame I cannot see that she has gained any for thelast three weeks she has a bed in the kitchen, the baby couldn't sleepupstairs this winter. What about David Copperfield? Has it all been published?I think you cannot in good conscience ask me to write another letterfor at least one monthWhen are you coming to Milo? Is Samuel going into the woods this winter[at bottom - upside down]:Monday. it was cold and blustering yesterday; very few out to meetingThink Mr Pattridge will be liked very well, shall expect a letter from Lucy? soonas she is able to write, Sis Bell[on right side]:This is horrid writing but I trust you will peruse it, I have beenknitting some of the queerest looking stockings you ever saw - don't know that is very closely connected with the subject, but the stockings are not asclosely knit - give my love to Margrett, and to Ann, want to see her.[in middle]:Mr Samuel W.
