User-Contributed Transcription Oct. 1855 Elyria Oct. 1855and their great trials I mean to write to her soon it seems my last long letter written last spring has never reached her; I wish they would come out and visit us this next winter; Mr. Rider is at leisure or ought to be for he ought not to labor I should think. The winter is really not an unfavorable time to take the journey being all by cars then you could come with them. Why is not this a feasible plan? They certainly mean to come & see us sometime & when will there be a better time. We have received a few brief lines from Samuel wife lately about little Gertie the last informed us of her death.Eliab & Mallie are no doubt deeply afflicted I wrote them a letter last week. I have had no letter from Lucy for some time; She is without help or was when Sam'l wrote. She has had much to do lately with so many in her family their house seems to be quite a family depot! I think you must have a hard time about now, I think of you carrying the babies up & down stairs, I hope you have good help I am so glad Isaac can be there to assist; so you be careful & put some restraint
