Are you quite at leasure to chat with me awhile, as I am alone, (the girls having gone to Frank’s), & wish to talk to some body, I have just returned from Aunt Laura’s where I have spent the fore-noon - Poor Aunt Luna! She is a pitiable object - I could not imagine, if I had not seen it with my own eyes, That any person could be so bloated as she is - she is very thin in flesh - but her body & lower limbs are enor- mous , I don’t know how Aunt Laura can take care of her, - so heavy & helpless - she tries to help herself some, & can do so by taking hold of your hand, or arm, or some where, but I could not stand for her to pull by me, she would pull me down before she would get herself half way out of her chair - how I pity her! Oh may I never be such a burden [Page 2] to my friends, or fellow creatures - Do you quite give it up that you shall come home? it will be so much pleasanter in May than it was when Homer came - and then we hope to get moved and settled down, up in the Hines house by that time, and will try our prettiest to make it pleasant for our- selves, and such of our friends a will call upon us - say you come in May - why can not you come as well as John? I think there are as many here, that are anxious to see you as him - what does Homer say of his visit? did he enjoy it? he could not but en- joy his return to New York, with such com- pany - O we do so want to have you come & besides, why should you be the only one not to come home, have not your Mother and sisters as strong a claim, as other Mothers & sisters? Though we did not go into hys- terics when you went away - & have not kept up a great whining ever since - but have tried to take it patiently, and look at [Page 3] it hopefully, have we no feeling? no desire to see you? no anxiety about you? I believe some people think that it was nothing for us to give up our home and you nothing at all - but they would not think of letting one of their sons, or brothers, or husband go - O no! that is a very differ- ent thing - we have such a faculty of appear- ing cheerful, but they cannot - it is so hard for them - O well, we are all selfish - but I hope not so selfish - how does your new Capt. perform & support his new honors? Did Miss Alice tire of waiting? or what was the matter that she left before that event was consummated? do you think as highly of Capt. as of Lieut Berry? tell us all about it - why does not H Sackett get promoted? is he not popular? I wish you might get through and all come home & I should care little for the promotion - I shall value it much more to have you come home a good man, & a true pa- triot than an Officer high in rank - [Page 4] To have you come, uncontaminated with the vices of the camp, than bearing many military honors – O Homer, it is my one daily prayer, that you may do nothing to bring reproach upon the saviour whom you have professed to love, knowing that he cannot be deceived and that he will not be mocked - he knows our hearts, and if we look to him believing and trusting him, he will be to us an ever present help, always near, always ready, there will be no such uncertainty in his promises, no such delays, as we often witness in our intercourse with our fellow men - Homer Sackett said he felt out of place in church, & Sabbath school, O I hope you may not get to feel that you do not wish to attend both - I know you used not to love a prayer meeting, but to me they are precious, God seems very near, listening, to the petitions of his children, waiting to bestow upon them whatever they ask for, that will be for their good - a kind and loving Father, that wishes only our best good, & has done so much, & is still doing for our happiness - O let us consecrate ourselves all that we are, all that we can be, to him, and ask him for Jesus sake to accept of us – do as you have done the last week write Your Mother JSC Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data ALS Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I find I have been hoping you would come home, to have thought of a great many things to tell you. I did not intend to expect you but I did so want to see you, that when I looked at Homer Sacketts face, I did want to see yours too. I wonder how his home appeared to him? do you think he will ever tell? it seems pleasant to us. I should think from all we hear that you have been having an exciting time for the last few months, a time calculated to try men's spirits if not their souls, their tempers if not their prin- ciples, but I cannot see that I am anxious to hear you promoted to a Lieut. you remember you once said that the temptations to vice seemed to increase in proportion to the Office, and I tremble for our dear soldier boys, with temptations increased four fold, + restraints very many of them removed, [page 2] there is one thing I feel very anxious that you should do, that is "Touch not, taste not, handle not, anything that can intoxicate, do let your example be such that no one can ever quote it, as an excuse for his own wrongdoing. I cannot feel that we are under any obligation to confort to customs that are in themselves wrong, or that lead so directly to wrong, as the habitual practice of tasting, or drinking that which which will intoxicate. How can a man that has once fell that he loved God so far forget that love (knowing that His eye is constrantly upon him) as to touch that, that the scriptures say, cannot not will exclude him from the home of the good. You ask after our church and Society, I have nothing very flattering to say, nor do I yet as some have expressed themselves the last year, I think that our society is very much stronger than it was one year ago. Then, Sam + Augustus have joined the society, + several others are, it is thought about ready to. Augustus expects to unite with the church next communion, + it may be George will come with him, he wishes to, + so does Emma. [page 3] but they fear the effect on their Mother. I think that I never saw a time when the people seemed to be less disposed to quarrel with each other than now, they seem dispos- ed to let each enjoy their own ideas of right + wrong. The sabbath school goes on as usual Seymour was apointed Librarian to serve till he left for New Britain + I think I have once seen Ed. Rouse circulating the books since he left. Mr. Bassett takes a deep interest in our youth and children, he says it is very uncommon for young men where he has formerly lived, to be so steady as our boys are, + he dislikes to have them grown worse, but wishes to impr- ove them rather, he would do almost any- thing for their good, you would think him inexcusably awkard perhaps, but we like him, he manifests an interest in the people. Mr. Sackett in prayer meeting one day in his prayer, thanked God, for sending us a min- ister that cared for our souls, we feel the dif- ference, between what is + what was. [page 4] I can hardly bring myself to write of our own prospects + plans, we sometimes are at a loss how to plan our business, I wanted you to come home so we could talk it up. Charles would have both the girls teach, believing they could get a dollar more that way. Frank never dictates, never gives an opin ion, leaves us to form our own plans, and if we ask any help from him, he is always ready. The same good boy as ever, but looks sometimeson the dark side I think if we had stronger faith in God, we should not so often feel that all was lost. I have no feat that I shall suffer for want to care. THo, it is so often repeated, that we shall be on the town, it troubles Miranda to hear it so often repeated, she says "it makes her mad" it does not me. I do not feel that it affects our re- spectability, tho it sometimes touches my pride a little, but it is of no consequence, and cannot interest you, but you must bear with me as well as you can. tell us how Homer enjoyed his visit home, it seemed so good to see him. I have not said half I wished to him, can't you come some time? O when we get moved and settled, how we should welcome you if you would come, but if that may not be, let us often meet at a throne of grace, that we may meet in that home of the blessed where we hope so many of our loved ones are gathering.

If so we shall hear exciting news before the close of the week no doubt - I do not wonder that you wish to be with them but we are about and well satisfied with the present arrangement of things - Fannie started for North East last Monday - since that time Ma and I have been sole occupants of our house - company excepted - and nothing has been heard from Fannie. She has gone out into the world to seek her fortune, and is probably too much engaged in her search to stop to write home - though I should think she would want to use her new pen occasionally - By the way weren’t we surprised when we discovered Austins beautiful gifts [Page 3] where we expected to find bundles of old letters written by ourselves - with possibly a book or two - and we hoped also for a letter from you and then, sure enough, it was, good as new, though bearing a somewhat - ancient date - We are certainly very much obliged to you for the share you had in the trouble of shipping that package, you even intimate that with some such aid as you gave we should never have received it. Many thanks to you - For the rest, I will soon write to the Madisters, and not burden you with messages to him - I do not know how readily letters reach the Rgt. now. When you write again please tell how to direct them. Aunt Miranda wishes you to open the bundle she sent to Miner by Mr. Camp, take out and appropriate [Page 4] the maple sugar concealed within then send back the shirts as Miner will not want them to carry around with him. I allow your arbutus letters to be romantic - highly so - I suppose you could not even guess who so kindly remembers our wandering Luke, if so probably would not mention it aloud - O’no - assumed hand writing without doubt - no means of ascertaining definitely the fair (dame?) - We have not received any “Chronicle” lately so conclude that you reprinted and did not send it or else it has been lost on the road - Have I acknowledged the receipt of the Co. D Memorial? I forget - Well it came all safe with your name picked up among the Lts. as large as life - It looks well on paper certainly - I do kindah wonder how you would look with decked out with all your new fixin’s Well, if you live and prosper I shall hope to see you strut into our kitchen so gayly bedight in about 16 months— Capt.
