Scope and Contents

Carleton has been hoping to hear that the Bleeker Street house was sold and that he might come on to look for a mother for Grace Bayley and a wife for himself. Now that Willy Seton has settled here, the great objection to a lady coming West is in a fair way of being removed as Willy's father comes in the Spring. If Mr. Lamson does not enter the Church Carleton hopes he will settle here. Their father's $400 make a hole in Carleton's income. Master Willy instead of sending money sent a bill for $28 for the expenses of Carleton's altar piece. Mr. Lintz sent another keg of whiskey. Can James find Carleton a good man and woman to come by March 20? Willy wants Carleton to go to Baltimore to look for a wife. If they could find sisters it would be easier to bring them there. If something does not turn up from James soon, Carleton will have to come on and ask Miss MacPherson? . The Episcopal Church does not give Carleton up. He gave them $50 toward a new building and gave his old pastor $20. The Rockwood business is not settled. Carleton likes Father Thomas Kennedy much better. They yet owe $200 on the parsonage. Grace is well and hearty. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
