Yours of the 31 came to hand this morning and I have
given early attention to your requests.
After voting for the Maine Law this morning I went to the
Bank drew the money, and paid the following amounts as pr. inclosed
Bills & receipts—viz.
| Whitman | $32.75 |
| J. P. Cook | 4.25 |
| Janett & sons | 21.00 |
| L. Curlett | 12.37 |
| Orrs rent | 15.50 |
| 85.87 | |
| By your draft on Bank | 85.62 |
| .25 |
Bro. Jarrett said that he had sold you the clothes as low as he co
could make them, & he had you charged with freight 50 cents, which
I made him take off, and tried to get him to take off 20$ for the
bill but did not succeed. I tried also to get Whitman to take off
that 25 cents but he would not. So you see I have done the best I
could for you.
We were disappointed in not seeing you and Ellen during
our great Fair & Cattle show. They are over. Eliza quilted the
quilt pieced by Sister Cassa some 20 years ago and put it in the
Fair on competition, and it drew a very pretty premium, so conside
ed among the Ladies. It was what they call " a card case". She als
put in a bottle of Blackberry cordial for which she rec.d a season
ticket. I mention this for Ellens information and amusement. Docto [OMITTED]
Davis was on Sunday last taken with one of his attacks of Rheumatism
tism, He is now getting better. We nearly all have colds, but we
have cause for gratitude to our heavenly Father for the mercy we
enjoy. We have not been able to learn any thing cirtain about the
result of the Election here today, but we hope the Main Law Ticket
has carried. This was the point of interest to us in this election
I hope we shall get the Maine Law all over the country.
I expect to take Eliza to H. de Grace with me next Saturday
to spend a week or two, and if you conclude to make us a visit
this fall let us know & we will be at home.
We can hardly say any thing about your going South, but w [OMITTED]
hope you will find your interest and happiness improved in the
change you are about to make. I wish Mr. Orrs time was out so that
I too might sell the old homestead as in all probability we shall
scarcely ever see Leesburg after you leave. Please put yrself to
some pains to sell that for us, as you did the other, and you will
confer a lasting obligation. We are glad to hear from you as often
as possible. May we all have grace to love God and keep His comma [OMITTED]
ments, so that wherever we live, or die, we may find a happy home
in the Kingdom of Glory. Give our love to all. E. sends her love
to E. and all our friends.
