User-Contributed Transcription S.W. FurberSt Paul July 18 57ElyriaSt. Paul. Saturday Eve July 18th 1857Dear MotherIt has been almost three weeks since I left Elyria and I have heard nothing from any of you in all that time and I want to hear very much. I wish to know whether you got well over your journey and how you now are. also I wish to know how Percie is. and what kind of a boy he is now. I have had some fears that he might think himself of considerable importance in consequence of being noticed more than usual, and I wish to hear from you all. My health is excellent, but I do not feel very well. for quite a number of days past I have felt unusually sad and lonesome, kind of uneasy and unsatisfied, as I become more acquainted here I hope to enjoy myself better
