apple pie order when I got here, I
was greeted with bare floores, and
a Supper of Black Tea, and dry
Bread, I wrote Ruth Word several
days before that we were comeing,
and to have things ready, but I
am sure she did it for impudence.
Fortunately, I had brought up
enough butter for Tea, and Breakfast,
thinking maby hers would
not be as good as ours, and that
Rachel Horn's would come fresh
the next morning, but her Ladyship
declines serving New Hopers
this summer with any thing. so we
have the pleasure of eating rank
oily Butter all Summer.

Nell had been there long enough,
and insisted on her comeing up
with me. she had several crying
spells about it, and beg'd very
hard to stay. I had every thing ready
to come up last sixth day week, my
Trunk pack'ed, all the Beding washed
and packed away, and the Spare
rooms lock'ed up. when in the morning
I received a Telegraph from
Fannie, that they would be there
that evening, I had to Telegraph
up here, that I could not come.
directly afterwards, Annie Camby
left her Bagage at the door, and
said if it was convenient she
would come and lodge with us.
after dinner, Jule, John and the
children came over to stay, and
just as Supper was ready, Doctor
John Winslow arrived, a very welcome
visitor. and George brought Ben Frismuth
home with him to stay all night, so
we had four extra Beds to make.

I am most Crazy to see him. and hope he will come up with Emma next forth day. and just as soon as I can rush through with House Cleaning, we expect to start off on our Journey out to see thee. but will write again, and let thee know when we shall leave.
Thy letter that thee sent up here, was remailed, and sent down to me. I beleive I have attended to the most of thy commissions. I have another letter to write this afternoon, and must draw this to a close. hopeing to see you soon, with much love I remain your affectionate Mother. which was somewhat trying to the
