I guess you will ask what I have been doing well I have not done any thing that amounted to anything. I have had company almost every day and night.</i></p><p><i>I wanted to hear from you ever so much before I got you last dear welcome letter. I was afraid you were sick and thought I would write you just a word but must give the same reason as I give for not answering the letter viz/ want of time. I am so sorry you have been sick and all your friends too what a serious time you must have had. I hardly know how you managed to get along…</i></p><p><i>Last night my cousin came in and wanted I should go to prayer meeting with him and as I did not attend church I thought I would go just to keep my name up for attendance to all these things. Really I don't enjoy the prayer meetings as much as I did when I had you here to go with me and her Br. Atwood 'hold forth' Oh Katie! How much I did enjoy that term. I know I never can be as happy if I live a hundred years as I was while I went to school. I did not think when I bid you and all the girls 'good bye' that I should never go to school again but now I do not expect to. Think I shall take music lessons a few more quarters. I cannot give that up.</i></p><p><i>Have you any new music I presume you will practice ever so much this winter while I shall not at all. My school commences next Monday and I do dread it so much. I am afraid I shall not get along well. Don't expect to stay more than a week it is called a hard school but I did not know when I engaged…</i></p><p><i>With ever so much love for thee…Mary"</i></p><p><i>"Salem June 10 1870 Friday evening</i></p><p><i>Darling Katie</i></p><p><i>I saw the death of Mrs. Sanborn in the paper this morning and I have thought of you all day with your sad heart -my poor Katie and have longed so much to be with you. I have wanted to see you more than ever today. It seemed as if I could not be denied. My darling I have such a lonely feeling come over me every little while now that I am separated from you. It makes me irresolute – sometimes and I feel almost as if I would give up my prospects for success here and be content in a more humble situation in life if we could only be together. </i></p><p><i>I know darling that such feelings are wrong and that we could never have been as happy as I hope we shall be sometimes now. I hope you have been to Concord to see poor Sue and Mary; it would be such a comfort to them but what could you say to them</i></p><p><i>It seems too bad that it must be her that she must die now after all these long months of anxiety. I felt some disappointed not to get a letter today but I hardly expected it. I hope I shall tomorrow. </i></p><p><i>Oh Katie I am so disappointed that I could not have had the whole evening to write to you but I had a caller just as I began and he has but just gone and I have only a few minutes before the mail closes. I fear you would not be satisfied with these few words if I should send them but perhaps they will be better than nothing.</i></p><p><i>I am very much better today. I am nearly well again. I will send a paper with this that has got my card in it. I want you to write me a long loving letter Sunday. I cannot feel reconciled that I could not send you a good letter today. I am going out to mail this and then come back and write to you. I should not feel so bad about it if tomorrow was not Saturday and you would have to wait so long for word. Good night dear darling Katie and many many kisses from your own Chas."</i></p><p><i>"Salem June 20 1871 Tuesday evening</i></p><p><i>Dear darling Katie</i></p><p><i>…Dr. Pierson has just called to ask me to go to Danversport with him tomorrow to assist in a surgical operation. It is for 'hair lip'. I am glad to go to see the operation and I shall enjoy the side so much too. I helped Dr. Shreve set a broken arm this morning. I have been very busy all day. Kelly went around with me this afternoon to see a few patients. Yesterday I had a very good day's work. I charged ten dollars and collected four of it. Today I have not had quite as much private business it has amounted to fived dollars. Yes my business has been increasing ever since I was in Bradford the last time. Of course I cannot expect it to continue to be as good all of the time as it has been this month for I have had so many cases I should be happy enough if I could do as much all of the time but we have every thing to encourage us darling and I know we shall have a nice home together sometime.</i></p><p><i>Oh dear Kate I long for it. You do not know how hard it is for me to live here alone away from you but I would not ask you to come darling until I can do everything to make you happy. I must leave the rest until next time. I will answer all of your letter then…</i></p><p><i>.Your loving Chas"</i></p><p><i>"Friday evening</i></p><p><i>My precious Darling</i></p><p><i>…We have just been interrupted by calls. Mrs. Stanly and a Miss Sweatt. I did not like to be hindered. I tried to write this morning. I hurried to make my calls helped Dr. Shreve in on operation then I went with Nell & Frank down to the Williams. We returned about three o'clock. I had not lost any calls but a man was waiting in the office to have me amputate his finger. Jesson came up to help me. He was a strong man and struggled so I got dreadfully tired holding him while he was taking ether. Since the operation I have made three calls so I have had a good day's work.</i></p><p><i>…many loving kisses yours Chas"</i></p> books

1838266969New Orleans 1838. unbound. 3 pages front and back each measuring 10 x 8 inches New Orleans February 1 1838. Written by Calvin Keith agent for Almina Partridge mother of United States Generals Samuel Partridge and John Milton Partridge. Almina is attempting to find out what real estate holdings her late husband has in New Orleans and Smith informs her in small part: ".I found myself in a rather awkward predicament. The Judge informed me the agent he had made the appointment Mr. Parker had admitted in Court that he had been in the State Prison for passing counterfeit money and informed me he could not now be removed without showing his present incapacity to manage her property. This information could only be obtained by depositions from the place where he resides.The last agent has not obtained any of the funds & I have much confidence in believing that his bail will not permit him to remove the funds and certainly not without securing him. On the whole I consider it rather a bad business & wish myself fairly out of it."
