our meeting on Monday, was in some respects
fortunate, as my sister
her bed, and my presence at home, seems necessa-
ry for a few days longer. Mrs Blatchford
Name: Julia Blatchford

will
probably be able, by the middle of next week to
visit her friends in Lansingburg

, and then, it will
be gratifying to us to have Samuel

health, though this protracted season of storms,
