Dear Bob
Coudle got your letter today, Brono is staying up at Uncle Hirams this week. but I presume he will answer your letter when he gets home. All glad to hear you was better; we have felt very much troubald about you, since we Amasa received Amasas your letter.
We are very busy now, scarcely have time to sit down for five minuites; both Plune and Ann got mad yesterday and left us to do all the work. Have lots of men and company most of the time.

he is going to stay all night. Uncle Joe is here too, came after trees. Alice sent his boy's plenty of buging bottles when he was down before.
There are a good many wild flowers out, we have commenced pressing One tulip and several hyacinths out crocuses begining to faide.
Alice is too busy to write; she sent the circular to Dr Evans.
Enclosed you will find three letters and two circular's.
Mother says you must be careful and not go out alone for fear you will fall lame and cant come get in. Uncle Flint

was just out in a field hunting and all of a sudden he felt a great pain in his knee so that he could hardly get to the house. Father thinks he must have strained it or else it is rheumatisam.
They have got a governness up at Uncle Hirams. She is a young widow; part French and part German. She is a queer woman she lost her husband and child a short time before a few weeks ago, but think she is about as well off without them, She teaches both French and German.

We some expect Mr Stergers to teach in the school house this summer. You know he taught for Uncle Hirams children for a month or two this Spring. They all thought he was a very good teacher.
We expect to get a girl as soon as possible. We dont have time for study or any thing else but work just now. All at The Grove want to see you and speak of you often. I wish I could have been with you while you were sick to but hope you will be well soon
