User-Contributed Transcription 13th March I have been looking for a letter from you this sometime. I feel confident there is one on the way the Mails have been very irregular. The Dr. has just been to the P.O. & come back with the usual story no Mail. News by Telegraph that there was not Mail east or west for 50 hours from Buffalo and Storming still. Anna had another Party a few days since The Minister the Mayor the judge members of Congress & the elite to the number of 35 or 40. The Tea sent served Oyster Soup biscuit & butter Cold Meat (cut thin as a wafer) Cheese pickles jelly & Cake in variety and abundance - a very pleasant time very good pleasant people Anna & Dr. seem to be lov'd and look'd up to by all the People round, & they treat me with very mark'd respect for their sake. I begun this some days ago & have been waiting & waiting to hear from you before I send it We have seen a good many notices of Home all pretty good or indifferent except one in the "Criterion N.Y.,, which was quite severe & rather unfair - call'd it "dull as directory" & much else as bad. Anna felt highly gratified the last sentence from the Sandusky Register -"Lady of Oberlin,, & then taken all aback by a little in a Cleaveland paper - "Lady of Elyria; however there is a good many ladies in Elyria.I send you some slips cut from Newspapers if you think best send them to L. when you have read 'em
