had 90 much Of It to do alone lately, but
have been having muscular rheuu atism, and
that 10 about ali that can think Of. But
when read Betsey Prig's report Of the re-
union at the Oriand fair. got 80 interested
that drifsed along with her and almost felt
that could see you all there. II interested
me 90 much, and wAs 20 amusing, that read
II aloud to my father, Who - ninety years old
and nearly blind. and when got through he
said, II that all that she wrote about it.' He
wanted some more.
wss Gisd 70 see some new ones added to
our pumbers-
think, Amt Msdge, that there mpst be
some mistake about the year that you we're
born. for II read it right you are older than
l. Ny year wss iss7. and you doar look -
old - ! do.
lam glad that Dell IL feeling 20 much bet
ter. often think Of Jennie whom I churn,
and wish could send her some buttermilk.
hope she IL mach better tails winter.

Do you know, "Are," I sometimes think
myself, there il some mistake in those
dates you allude to; mean the 1sl7 date,
but, neverthelrss, 1t il correct, suppose.
