A rainy day, & very few at Church.Where & what is Chas. Harlow now? Do you know any thing of him? Who are Bangor First Parish to have for a Minister? How can I join the Sons of Temperance if I do not live where they are? I was almost tempted to join the Odd Fellows at Northfield. Would it not be worth the while if I were going West? I did think of having my letters directed to Care of F. Chase Esq, Eng. N.H.C.R.R. Manchester N.H.As wherever I am on the line I could get them pretty readily through him.But there is a Post Office very near where one of my men lives and I can get letters by him.I believe it is "Oil Mill Village" N.H.At any rate this will be mailed there.The place where I now board is "Parkers", a little village in the West part of West Goffstown, near on a corner of New Boston one mile from Oil Mill Village, inhabited principally by Parkers, with the principal of whom I am. good folks Sincerely I.S.M., Brother[left-hand side] I wish you would write me word sometimes when your business will make you in Boston and perhaps I will send thither by Express a Trunk which I shall wish to send Home if I find I am to stay here.
