User-Contributed Transcription some down, I think likely we will want a few. In regard to your coming down here, Samuel thinks it quite uncertain whether his conveyance will comfortably accommodate three, and it is also uncertain when he will go, as if we have an open winter, as many predict, so that the lakes are not soon frozen, he will be obliged to go the other way the first times. So, all things considered, we all conclude that you had netter "wait for no man," but come down in the stage at your earliest convenience - you will know better than we when the roads are good. Anne would much rather you would be here while I am at Milo, particularly as Eliab is going away next week, and she would otherwise be left alone during our absence. In regard to the Mrs. Griffith you spoke of, if Almeda knows her and thinks her a suitable person, why please engage her at once; to receive additional wages if need be, and so act as nurse and hired girl too if she is willing. It will save me a deal of trouble and vexation, if it can be all arranged so. Perhaps to come the last of winter or early in the spring - depend upon how well I am how soon I want her. I wish you would attend to it without delay & secure her if she is a suitable person. Samuel and I really went
