User-Contributed Transcription Home, April 4, 1865Dear Jennie Your kind letter of March 1st was welcomed with pleasure, but had anyone hinted then that it would be so long unanswered I would shake my head try to look wise and say you are mistaken. But it is so easy to put off untill to-morrow, I waited at first expecting to see you up here, then the freshet visited us and I thought it would be long time before the black-river track would be in running order, so I delayed day after day. will Jennie please pardon. Did you see much of the great Freshet of 1856 at your place. some were afraid that the east part of Oriskany would be carried away. persons were oblige to go from their houses to the barns in boats and in some barns cows and horses were drownded it being imposible to get them out to a place of safty. the water did not come very near our house but visited our celler without doing much damage,
