Scope and Contents

Bayley's Aunt Craig begs Emma to tell him that she has written to the Bishop and the Doctor, but she has received no answer. The report is that Bayley is to have Harlem church during Mr. Hart's absence. If Bayley accepts the call his Aunt Craig begs that he will favor her with a visit before he takes up his duties, either to help enjoy Robert's presence or mourn his absence. Mrs. Richard Post has added a little female Post to their list of cousins. Miss Sally Ogden is to be transplanted into the family of the Gallet's on the 16th and her two sisters will marry during the winter. Craig wrote to Carleton Bayley not long since. They have heard that Uncle Guy Carleton Bayley was engaged to Arabella Ludlow. It would be an excellent match. How did Bayley find Miss Christine on his return. Craig would prefer her for a cousin to Scraggy Biers Julia Beers. They are better friends with the dwellers on the hill than they were. Samuel Craig met with a very severe accident and the Doctor was exceedingly kind. Their manner is very friendly to all except Robert; the finishing stroke was when someone repeated to Mrs. Rhinelander that he was disgusted with her helping the greasy mutton chops with her fingers. Anne Margaret spent two or three weeks with them in September and the more Emma sees her, the more she likes her. The Bloodgoods have offered their place for sale and will leave here early in November. Madame will also leave them on the first. She finds the place too dull for winter use. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
