Dear All, Your long expected communications came
this afternoon and you can scarcely conceive how
pleasant the perusal of them was and as an evidence
I have taken my pen altho I am very nearly sick
with a severe headache I have been quite suffering
with aches and pains for some time have had seve
ral treatments by Dr F[lussey?] and have felt [illegible] bett
er if it were more easy I would like further treatment
but there are so many things in the way He seems to
have considerable to do I saw Mrs Plum there twice she was
surprised to learn you [illegible] recently been in NY withou^t^
seeing any of them So we conclude you failed in seeing
A F Davis and wife Joseph and self went to NY on [illegible] day
morning to be at the [illegible] next day Sam [e?] and girls were coming
on [3?]-day but a severe storm in the morning prevented [Libie?]
came on [6?] [days?] I was very sorry ^they did not^ as George Truman Sam Livie
and John Cornell were in attendance SL is not a favourite
but many thought him very excellent and the others were
so altogether we had a satisfactory time 5th day evening
held our quarterly freedmen meeting heard the reports
and minutes of the executive [com?] also the report of this
[com?] who had been on a visit to the Government [illegible]
and [illegible] adjacent Colonel O Brient had recently been in
NY and much of interest [rolating?] to the freedmen [illegible]
[illegible] their great desire to educate themselves and
[their?] capacity to do it was enforced by striking instan
ces which had come under his personal knowledge
on the side: The weather has been cold but??? and ??? excellent ??? today cloudy and this eve it is stormy a little We have only seen S Posts wife at S ??? the evening of the company ??? ???? easy to get acquainted with and hope it may be a pleasant connection ??? he is 15 years younger than S I ??? know if we ??? find a chance to send this ??? or not Have been to EW they ??? talk of ??? or refrain ???
