If you have any things to be (underlined) washed (underlined), send in one of Uncle Lucius' boxes, + mother will send them to you by Persis Bray who will go to Boston in two weeks. We send your clean (underlined) things by Mr. Loring. Some flannels (underlined) soon (underlined).

P.M. Persis + I have been to see grandmother Long who is more unwell than she has been. We called to see Ras. Cole + bot. 2 large pumpkins for pies. Mr. Turner = wife have lately been to Lowell all the way by Railroad. This journey is an era (underlined) of their lives; a subject whose interest will last as long as they (underlined) last. Your mother, + Mrs. Arrowsmith, + the children, + I, have just taken tea at Mr. Loring's. Carrol's appetite is unlimited. He says he has sent you a letter of 8 pages this week, continuing some nonsense, I would say, by his account of it. Some of New Portland and Bath companies that camp'd out right after muster, did some very mean things which they probably thought cunning. They up-set things, burned fenced, killed Mrs. Dannon's hens. They hired John Skillins to get a yoke of oxen and a cart [unitelligible]
