User-Contributed Transcription it was too late. I believe though it as half an hour at least, after boats did get there, and Charles & I left before the body was recovered. My breath was so short, that I could not stay under water long enough to amount to anything hardly. Mother though[t] Charles & I would both catch cold &c. but I guess we did not; I rather strained my short breath, but have got about over it I guess. There came, the day after you left a letter from Susie Brigham which I will save till you get back I guess there is nothing special in it for which to send it to you. I wrote to George & Mailed Thursday Morning, and also a letter to you which I presume you have got ere this. I am quite anxious to hear from you. I expect you got very tired indeed before you got to New H.
