You did not bring me along? I suppose you made the intended visit to Mrs Maci's. I want to know: [moses?] married to miss Beaman, not acquainted with his wife but slightly with [moses?], hope they may live a prosperous & happy life, without quarreling, [illegible] did they have a quarrel since being married. So [will?] intends to take himself a better 1/2, he will be a better 1/2 if he gets Mollie Smith and also miss Harris expects to go to the adjoining state which is [matrimony?]. It beats the world. and [Nathan?] I suppose will travel to the same state now soon. "You and I must look a leedle out" or as we will be left behind that would be to bad, wouldn't it? Oh, how I wish I were a leedle boy, so that I could go in your class in [S. school?] & have you ask me such nice questions, So I wouldn't either then mother would not allow me to go to your house, and stay as long as I do, ain't you sorry I'm a big boy? I am well of my cold. Hope you have not taken the mumps. I think you will. Hope [illegible] is well again, hope this may find you all enjoying the beat of health, & in good spirits.
