          but I hope it is still going on. It has little
 of excitement in it: scarcely what I should
 consider the minimum of feeling necessary
 to conversion in many. I therefore did not
 feel at so much liberty to encouraage hopes &
 really know not how to estimate the results
 of the work as I left it.


 I cannot say I am happy now while my
 main business is waiting. It will take us a
 long time to reach our future home as we
 have visiting to do in not less than nine places
 between New York & Hillsgrove. Miss W. has a
 sister in Beloit & I a brother in Steuben [?]
 N.Y. Pres Andrews of Kenyon Coll & his wife [crossed out: were] [inserted: are]
 both first cousins to her. Was not Edwin Grant
 there? Where is he now?


 Give my respects to Eliza & Maggie, and
 repair the results of your misreading of my last.
 I will not try to answer Eliza's letter now,
 perhaps not till after I have seen her.


 Respectfully yours  I. F. Holton


 P.S. please let it be in 10 or 12 days & directed
 to Cornwall _ I visit Westminster, Vt. my
 native place, before my return.
