Aunt Mim says tell you she
will write you sometime
Gustavus Oct. 28th
My dear Seneca,
Another Sunday
nearly gone. Been quite a nice
day tho some cloudy this
morn. We have had a very
pretty week. Aunt Mim and I
went to Kinsman fair yesterday
morn at eight o'clock. Wilson
and Truman [?elected] for Troy.
They will have a nice time and
it will be quite fortunate for them.
Papa and I went to church this
morn. I wrote you I think that
Fred Perkings was very sick with
Typhoid fever. Sick over four
weeks. He was buried to day.
Has been crazy all the time.
Thurs evening they have a union
social. both ______ people society
have supper and some literary
enlisters meet also.
I wonder if you were at Warren
yesterday. Mr. Harshman went
down to attend the teachers
meeting. Want the boys to
find out tomorrow whether he
saw you or not. You never
said whether you rec'd that
check or money we sent you.
I mean the check that was sent
you from Saybrook and the
money and stamps we got for
you on that card. Please write
of such things sent as we
may know for certain about
them. We have just rec'd that
money from the express office
and will send it and the
what was left from the book
delivery before long. There will
be about six dollars, I think.
You ask if we have seen any
thing of your Delphine ribbon.
Have not but am very sure
it was among your cards and
things on that litte plate.
however, will take a look for
it among the books.
You must be careful about
eating to many dumplins again.
We had sweet potatoes for
dinner and had some sausage
this morn I got at K fri
very fine. Wish you were here
to dress some chickens; we
will not have turkey for
Christmas this year. We will
find something, I guess.
Well the rest have all gone
to bed so I will go and write
some in the morning.
Monday morn. a nice day again,
I guess. The boys will have a
nice time to come if nothing
prevents. We are going down to
Mr. Knapps to spend the evening.
Have you a [?] money that
is satisfactory. You have another
monthly anda Hiram advance
and we have foudn that drill
book of yours which we will
send to you. Well, tell us all
about yourself when you write.
Wish I could see you. Must say
goodby for this time as it is
[?Kidd] time. Very much love from
your mother. Anna E. Partridge
