Beers has had no tidings from Bayley since she wrote to him from Litchfield. September 22 will be the 50th anniversary of her father and mother's marriage and also her mother's 70th birthday. They intend to have a general family gathering and Bayley should come; he should at all events send a letter of congratulations. Yesterday, Beers had a visit from Mr. Eastman ; he is much dissatisfied with the Episcopal Church and said he would read Dr. Ives' book. There are plenty of churches here but no books. Beers will ask Bishop Timon for something. A good deal of worldly interest is keeping Eastman back. Beers mentioned in a former letter a request from Jane Sedgwick to petition Bayley for a letter to help her in Rome. She sails in October. Mrs. Petre has engaged Catholic quarters for her. Beers asks if Bayley cannot wander this way for his health? Beers is becoming more contented here, though she does not like the place. Bayley should not fail to give Beers's remembrance to all the Tiers and Nesmiths. :: II-2-n A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo
