User-Contributed Transcription Cedar Grove Nov. 7th 1850J.M. to Artium Magister The latest instance of its raining pudding known to have occur'd in this vicinity was the Concatenation of the recent freshet with the autumnal defoliation of the forest which caus'd a large deposition of leaves upon the riverbank. Cords of them have been carted to the hogyard. My Stock of Reading on hand is Bottus American Revolution, Vicar of Wakefield, Les aventures Telemaque, La Henriade, Rasseslas, Cowpers Poems, Scotts Poems, Macauley History of England, & Vols. Coopers Novels & 12 other Volumes in Milo Social Library. So you see that I am sufficiently endow'd for the present. I told Eliab he had better delay executing your order for Harpers Monthly for the present, perhaps you will come home. It is propos'd to hold a Womans Convention next January. The Plan is for the Dauters? Step Daughters & Daughters in law of A.M. Metcalf to assemble from all parts of the world at this place & continue in session throughout the month. The attendance of Daughters etc. de jure as well as de facto is desirable; you are therefore requested to notify etc. Miss Antoinette Dunbarton and all other Persons to be found in your precincts that are gratified as above. Nov 9 By the letter from you which we got last night it seems we have written 2 or 3 letters which you had not got. You ought not to work in Office so many hours in a day one cannot do it without injury as I have enjoyed
