remember it is my fault not hers -
Aunt Mary has been to N. Hampshire
for several weeks visiting her husband's
friends. She is very full of business since
her return, preparing to take a visit to
her daughter in Morrisville. Sis Mary is
very well, indeed. I don't see why she isn't
as well as ever. It is a marvel to me consid-
ering her spouse. He is not the worst
man that ever was, but I shall never
die of love for him. Thomas and Jane are
well and happy as two turtle doves . James
has been at work on a mill until such
cold weather came, since which he has
been at one of the three places, wherever
he was most needed. He is well, so are
Tim, the well-beloved and Anna.
The two are here alone this week. How
I wish my cousin Rowland were here - I am
alone in the house most of the days but
I am not lonely, for with plenty of books
numerous letters and a thousand pleasant
memories, the time does not hang heavily.
