Written in pencil on white note paper with embossed border. 6" x 4" 4pp In part: ".You probably have heard of my departure for this Western Country. It was very bad and unlooked for news. Sister Libby and myself left Otego" about two weeks after you and Mr. Seely visited. Sister Libby apologizes for leaving you in the morning, ".but she came home a convert.I can't get used to the great vacancy of Brother's wife--she was always so cheerful.Perhaps I have some strange ideas of marriage. But it does seem to me as if people grow more attached to the world and even stronger ties to be broken when we die if we are married than if we are single.The youngest of Brother's children, 2-1/2-year-old Eva, was given to me for the present, just one of the sweetest children ever was. She will probably return east with me--whenever I go.Regards to Mr. Seely and all my friends in Bainbridge.Tell them I am in Badger Land once more.". original ms edition. Binding is not bound.
