A letter from Lex. last Friday, my dear
Mary, to Mrs Andrews contained the information
that you all had started to Montville the Saturday
evening before, and also the news (brought by the
return stage) that the Coach in which you sit
out had arrived safely at Salisbury. I was glad
and thankful to hear that no accident occured
during that stormy night. If I had dreamed you
were out there I should have been uneasy in-
deed. Since your arrival at Salisbury I have heard
nothing at all from you. But I hope you have es-
caped all the dangers of the way and long ere this
are in your sweet dear home. And long
enough before you get this I know you will sit
down and write me all about your journey &
things at old Montville.- They said you had
recd. a letter from me just before you left Lex.
I have also written another & mailed to A--e.
It seems when Thursday comes I can't help
writing you; Another evidence of the strength
of old habits. If I do bore you sometimes with
my frequent correspondence I hope you will par-
don me because of the pleasure it gives me to
write; and you need not read all my letters if
