User-Contributed Transcription Warwick Aug 1 1857Dear Sister I will try to write once more but I believe I wrote last and I have nothing Special to write but if I could see you I should find enough to say. we have had some very hot weather this summer but very dull hay weather now there is a great deal of hay out spoiling Mr. C has mowed and done a good deal of work he dont complain but little when the sun shines but I know he suffers a great deal but he thinks he must work my health is very good for one 76 I am very clumsy my joints are very stiff and I have a great many poor nights but I dont have much house work to do no cheese to make just milk enough for butter so I have spun fifty skeins of stocking yarn since the first of july. every thing goes on with me quite easy at home as it allways did but I have a great desire to see my friends and to go to meeting as I used to, but I am so Deaf it dont do much good so I must bring my mind to my condition my eyes are very good dont disturb me Sundays so on the whole I think I have much to be thankful for. Harveys health is not good but he works Henry is some better but does not work near all the time Susan and Horace have been to School all summer but they have the name of being very feeble Hannah is better than she was last winter so she works and worries most all the time about something or nothing but on the whole she is a good house keeper takes good care and does all she can to make the family comfortable Esther is well and fat and appears to be happy I have been there once & she has been here once this summer sometimes it is a great while I dont see her it is about as hard for me to get there as for some to get to Boston but I writeBetsy Conant Aug. 1, 1857Elyria
