 that I had only before seen upon the wild
 Rose of this region (I should judge it not

 I am very much afraid of being disappointed
 in accompanying you when you make your
 Long Island trip - People here are somewhat

 practice to leave it, in a condition to be
 snatched away in my absence. -


 The celebration on the 4th went off
 very well as a Temperance movement.


 But badly in as far as mine host Mr.
 Reynolds (who provided for the guest) is
 concerned - The affair having left him
 minus to a considerable amount which
 he can badly afford - The vaccine matter
 which you sent in your brothers letter 
 is in my possession & I intend to use it
 in the morning -
