Sister Susan,
We recieved your letter dated seventh to fourteenth
yesterday, which was by every one of us perused with pleasure.
Hannah is at home A. and myself went after her Friday PM.
We arrived safely home, found grand Father A at our house.
He said they were in usual health at Adams. Cynthia rather
improving as they now hope the trouble is removed. He
let Saturday PM. I am in the parlor writing Hannah
sits at the window sucking. She thinks your thoughts
are wandering home. We have not yet recieved any
packages from you. I suppose it is at Burkers. hope we
shall get it er long. Last week on Thursday after
washing in the AM I went to Battenvile. between
three and four when I arrived at "Uncle Tommy's". The sewing
society met at Mr Fords. Mary and Jane had gone. Nancy and [I?]

time and visit. The next day in the PM Aaron brought me

until your arrived at C-Fs. It is now bed time. Adieu

Wednesday July 24 PM At present I am entriely alone Mother
Father and Susan B have gone to the village to trade a little. Mary
has gone after some currents. This day is very warm and
pleasant which is a rarity in these parts. Yes Susan Fall
is near by.Time flies swiftly. may we properly improve the
moments (which I fear is not the ease with me) knowing that our
long time here on earth will be no more. Yes many
things may occur to blast our blooming anticipations. Do
not think that any of us have forgotten you. but recollect we have
a great deal to do much more than we can accomplish- and are
waiting until your return to assist us. we are obliged to do
what we can, and leave the remainder undone

Father keeps busy working on the farm and saw mill. I have endeavored to
sew some for a few days but do not accomplish much. I shall be glad
when the time arrives for you to come home. I am certainly ashamed
of this writing but excuse as I had neither time nor knife to mend
my pen. what I have not written I shall
leave for Aaron to write. About
what time will you
probably come home
In much love
I remain your sister
[Guelina?]

Mother says, when ask Susan when she will be
home on a visit --- In haste

The fact is are coming home this fall or are you going to stay all winter
in New Rochelle. [Gula?] is very anxious to have you come as you will
percieve but I guess the most she cares about it is to have you there
to do the work. If I was you I would be the last feller to come home
this fall if I could get a good place there to spend the winter
this matter of being at " home sweet, home, and have to work
like Sam Hill is not the thing what it is cracked up to be
I should be exeedin pleased to see you this fall you know
so you may come home if you choose. But if you don't come
and any thing Extra should happen in these parts any time and its
prodigal it will I don't think there may be some body [down?] to see
you this fall. '[Mum?]' Write often you know
thine truly, Aaron
