25 It is by such full + unreserved communication, that you will enable me to form a correct opinion of the advantages + disadvantages of your situation, both in a business, + in a moral point of view.

    To day, Persis, + Jennett, + Miss Neale [?], with Mr. Thomp-

son, Browne + Jewitt, take an excursion into the country, as far as K A [?] rural Seat of Mr. Thompson's ancestors. You may not feel (you, not Addison) anxious of their comfort of a ride, in open carriages, under such intense heat of the Sun, - heat that will bake apples.

    I saw one of our Retailers coming over the Bridge, in

a most republican apparel. He wears coarse slouching boots high outside his tow pants, in which he stands over six feet, a cotton Striped shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his Shoulders, exposing a pair of long, black, greasy arms to which are appended as clumsy a complement of thumbs + fingers as ever were seen. Who would ever guess they were made to peddle [?] nuts + candy with? Guess who it is. Give it up? Mr. Caswell [underlined]

    In the language of little Janie, "is not that funny"?  Did you receive your apples?  And were they ac

ceptable? And do you wish for any more? Will you have some Russet + Sweetings? We have an abundance of bake or Sweet apples + milk. I wish we could give you + Addison some. Grandmother Long has just come in, looking feeble. She say she has come to stay a little while,k + see if it won't make her feel better. I see Sabin Cool- edge in the street. I wish he was in some pursuit worthy of his talents. I think he is capable, properly directed, of doing well in some more respectable line than that of loafing.
