of Miss Jones'pupils, & that every body
was to be invited from over at Uncle
Rufus' & at Uncle Williams & over here.
All to be at Uncle Lucius' & that Aunt
Mary had said they were not to have
on very fine clothes neither, - This last
I have no doubt was the matter of real
grief to the "whole{underlined}" school consisting
of Sarah, Mary, Fanny & Em: I suppose
Cousin Rachel is to play on the piano.
I hear they are preparing a hymn or so
to sing. - So we go. -

I was in Nashville the other day & saw
many people among them Mrs. Cateen.
She looks very well, & is very full of
conversation. I passed an evening with
Gov'r Polk where I met Genl. Jackson.
He looks very well & is very spirited yet.
He inquired after you. Judge Cateen
staid with me a short time a few
days ago. - As grave & wise as a Judge.
Mrs. Jackson (James) is spending some
time just now with Sarah at Westbrook.
We wish you were here to enjoy the visit
with her. Rufus seems quite happy in
his habitation. His wife is a sensible
woman & I hope they will be very happy.

Things look quite{underlined} promising{underlined} just now.
