Saving...
expect to like it very much at first evry thing is so out of fix I am in a hurry to get things streightened up as soon as we can. David Gould is afflicked with [eyreciplas] which has settled in his foot which has supperated consederable: I forgot to tell you that that the last phasycian called to see Sarah was Symons: quite a leap that; from Hubbard to him. I do not know but there is danger of Jimmy and Mary getting married if we go to Conneaut John is too old. Harmon Bennet has no team haveing sold his horses to Austin Avery last fall. Hill calls once in a while to borrow books which I do not lend without your permition I do not think he deserves them. I often wonder what you wear over you when you go out have you got an over coat: if not how can you get one unless we send you money you cannot come home without one this time of year. I forgot to tell you that Sarah bought a nice woollen shawl and left it to Goulds for me Salina went home with them. Arba came for Sarah but I did not see him. Eddie is a smart little fellow uncommonly so. I think you must be uncommonly well off for furnniture &c. Have you got a stove in your room and is your bed comfortable and warm enough. We recieved your letter to day. Write again. it is getting late; and I must close. A Good Nights rest Mary P. Bean
