I am a going to Columbus on a visit before long and I want you to put of going there until I go for I dont mutch think that you will go thare to live. now I want to tell you a little about Sandusky I dont think that it is as plasant a plase as Newark or Columbus is nor the streets are not kept ever so clean as what thare are at Columbus but still there some things here to be admire and one of them is the Sandusky Bay wich surround the city on tow sides and you can look out any time and see the boats on it except when it is frose over and then it is cover women and men and children skeating away oh Lib you must come up here this winter and stay three or four days and we will have so much fun skeating on the ice
