Ye are, left Aunt Ellen to stay a few weeks longer. dont you think Milton and Sallie must have had a good time [keeping?] house. I have no doubt they enjoyed it very much, she brought Ellie with her, she has not changed one bit, you asked me Ellie how I enjoyed my visit in the Quaker City, very much, saw a great many things to look at and admire. yet Ellie my visit in Iowa surpassed all the pleasure I had in the Quaker City, my thoughts often revert to those happy days I spent while in the West, and never while memory holds her sway can I forget the pleasant times we had together. I think it was one of the happiest summers of my life, but they are now numbered with the past
