Enfield N.H. Oct. 18^th 1865

 

Dear Natt

                        Thinking you would like an answer to your welcome letter I will try and write a few lines. I received your letter last evening and should have answered it then but I out of paper I was very glad to hear from you and that you was well. we are all quite / well excepet Marcia and she is getting better She has been down street to-day. The weather has not been very pleasant this week we begin to have quite cool weather and I dread that. Horace wanted to know when you was coming home I told him I did not know and he sayes I do know but wont tell.

 

            Horace is having a new shop fixed up the rooms that Hiram Baker had. I wrote you that Mr Nichols had gone away he did say he was going to the Mediterranean Sea to be gone three years but he has got back I heard to-day that he / was married but I do not think it is true. What is Mrs Day doing out there I have been asked a great many times Mary Burnham sayes she guesses she is doing a little of every thing.

 

            Well Natt you need not worry but what you will have beech-nuts enough to eat when you come home Em and I have been out in the wood to day I picked three quarts to-day I wish you was here to go with us. If Gene was here we would have a gay time. I had a letter from Addie last week She was well and enjoying herself. I guess you will think I have / wrote enough this time.

 

Pleas write as often as you can.

 

Good night with much

love to you—

 

I am as ever yours truly—

Nellie F Stanley
