Wed.'y. 15th Sept. Thomas Ellis is here. Grandmother Long continues her visit. Did we hear, before you went away, that Elizabeth Ellis's quandam [?] beau, the young Mr. Whitman, was dead [underlined]? Such is the report. If true, his exit is an interesting finale [underlined] to the Romance between him + Lizza. We hear, 3 Whig Representatives to Cong. are elected. + 10 Senators to the State Legislature. Smart doings. Hubbard, in the returns rec.d, lacks 6000 votes of a majority. Old Virg. stands on the Bridge, + in the corners of the streets, + looks as if things were not just as he could wish. He has a little [?] air (perhaps I only fancy it) of a disappointed political dem-agogue. I suppose such characters have a qualified claim upon our sympathy. But the compassion we feel for them will in spite of every thing, partake more or less of contempt. Parris has accomplished one [underlined] object: He has defeat-ed the Election of Hubbard by the people. I rode down to Mr. Nathan Morrell's, yesterday, with Mrs. Arrowsmith + the children. Horace (Horris, you spell it) was cutting up corn Our little horse is fat as pork, + goes along just like any body's horse. Nathan offered me Old John + $50. for Janie [?]. Tell John Addison, he shall have free use of her when he comes down in the winter, to sleigh ride the girls, if he will "be good," as Mrs. A. tells Georgia. Sam. Holmes + I have been up in the nursery with a cart, + gathered 12 bhs. apples for him to dry at the halves [underlined]. And here comes uncle Miles with a side of lamb for our dinner.
