reading, Macauleys History is quite interesting
written much in the same style as his Essays
I fear that I shall not be able to finish
it this term as all the volumes have not
yet come out.-- Aunt Eliza's letter
was very acceptable it being the first
she has sent me this term. I read two
pages of it before I knew that it was from
her thinking all the time that it was
from you, She said something about father
selling part of the factory to Mr. Clapp &
Sarah said something about his selling part
to Mr Von Sicler. I wish you would
write & let me know something about these
affairs for if I am a literary man"boy"
residing in a literary town I feel considerable
interest in them. Let me know something
about fathers going to Europe when he is
going, how long he is going to stay, is "any one"
going with him, whether I am going to
stay at home next summer, & who am I
to recite to if I do. Besides these they are
many other things interesting to the absent
youth.-- You must certainly write
me a piece for my next Mirror. You
must not let me trust to my own "genius"
this time but if you are going to do so
please let me know. If you send me a
piece please send it early. My thanks for
