J B Peekham with a small farm rather than Daniel Morris with ten thousand
I have written the above to give thee an idea of Mary's prospects – For my part
to know that she will be happier doing good than fostering pride is a
comfort to me CTJ & companion were invited guests at the wedding which was
at the house of her Father Her husband is from R.I. and consequently they did not
pass thro the [My?]. There were about 50 persons many of course that NN did not
want – but as they wake be True to some extent they had a good time
Mary wore flowers (natural) a double ruffle round the neck and wrist and
her ^Hair^ which was cut short last summer when she came home sick was now just long
enough to be [curled?] in her neck and lookd well, a large number of cousins
were present 5 from Charles Leasing – and after the salutations quite in the style
out side of Quakerdom– M cheerfully noticing all she [loved] (After supper) [pulled?]
off her gloves and throwing them on the sofa started for the dining room
where she made herself useful – seated again she called her little niece and
asked her if the youngest lamb had been fed CTJ said she would be
[illegible] by the lambs – her father replied she would like all the lambs with
her he had given them to her every year successively – altogether the Wedding was
a success as to Liberty there was low sweet singing in the hall by the cousins
and very lively conversation Isaac & E had not met but very few of their young
friends since they were themselves married almost 20 year since. Lilley is a tall girl
has a block of new teeth – and seems now to be healthy Lacy is a very good girl
in her 7th year and so the family is small. Thomas Colling has been spending
a week with us it was a treat to me HE did not come out here at all Thomas
was quite sick with Lung Fever but [Mrs Choat?] cured him in a couple of weeks
with water and Magnetic Suction it is certainly a very clean tidy method of
Cure. I have felt since reading thy letter that perhaps thee would take Willie
with thee to Waterloo and I should feel quite bless’d if we could have
a visit from you after the [MZ?] – it is so pleasant to come on the Boat
to Aurora our Ferry is not so convenient as there is no conveyance to us
