I AM WELL AT PRESENT AND ABLE TO PERFORM MY DAILY TASKS WHICH IS NOT A VERY EASY ONE, IT KEEPING ME ON MY FEET FROM DAYLIGHT TILL 9 OR 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. I HAVE BEEN SICK WITH THE INTERMITTENT FEVER ABOUT 3 WEEKS THIS SPRING WHICH REDUCED ME DOWN QUITE LOW. FATHER AND UNCLE PRATT ARRIVED HERE IN MICHIGAN IN GOOD HEALTH. AMOS STOPPED IN DETROIT, UNCLE PRATT IS VERY MUCH TAKEN UP WITH THIS COUNTRY AND SAYS THAT HE SHALL NOT LIKE THE CAMPBELLTOWN HILLS ANY MORE. COUSIN i WAS IN HOPES OF SEEING YOU HERE THIS SPRING BUT MY HOPES HAVE PROVED VAIN THIS TIME, I THINK THAT YOU COULD NOT FAIL TO BE PLEASED WITH THIS COUNTRY IF YOU WOULD ONLY COME AND SEE IT. THE GREAT DISTANCE WHICH SEPARATE US CAN BE TRAVERSED IN A FEW DAYS AS IT WERE WITH THE LIGHTENING SPEED & I HAD HOPED TO HAVE SEEN YOU ALL IN CAMPBELL THIS SUMMER, BUT THROUGH UNFORESEEN EVENTS I SHALL BE COMPELLED TO GIVE IT UP AS MY SICKNESS HAS BROUGHT UPON ME SOMETHING OF A BILL TO PAY. BUT I THINK NOW THAT IF MY LIFE AND HEALTH IS SPARED ME I SHALL SEE CAMPBELL DURING NEXT SUMMER AND SPEND A FEW WEEKS WITH THE COMPANIONS OF MY YOUTH WHICH WILL EVER BE REMEMBERED WITH THE MOST GRATEFUL EMOTIONS. COUSIN CHARLES IT IS WITH PLEASURE THAT I THINK UPON THE HAPPY HOURS THAT WE HAVE SPENT TOGETHER IN THE DAYS OF OUR BOYHOOD IN RAMBLING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND SPORTING ALONG THE RIVER AND LONG WILL THEY BE REMEMBERED BY ME AS THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. YOU SAID IN YOUR LETTER THAT YOU SUPPOSED THAT I WAS BEHIND THE COUNTER MEASURING CALICO AND SO I HAVE BEEN FOR THE 2 PAST WEEKS. I HAVE MEASURED HUNDREDS OF YARDS FOR THE LADIES WHICH YOU KNOW ARE DEAR LITTLE CREATURES. YOU SAY YOU ARE NOT A CANDIDATE FOR MARRIAGE YET AND SO WITH ME FOR CUPID WITH ALL HIS ARTS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PIERCE MY HEART WITH ANY OF HIS ARROWS ALTHOUGH HE IS SO SKILLFUL AN ARCHER. I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE ANY MORE OF IMPORTANCE TO WRITE AND SO IT IS GETTING DARK. AND REMEMBER, ORRIN STEVENS"------GENEALOGY----2PGS----ERNIES COLLECTION $40 Read More..
