My dear Sister,
Are you not much better this cool

uninterrupted for a week more – we have had
no weather like it in many years. Mrs Bowen

please with her visit at the "young farmers"
Mr Foster
New York – after graduating at college he studied
farming for two years in company with 2 other
young gentlemen
instructed theoretically and practically by Mr
Owen
Lake – Foster has been married less than a year
and is now enthusiastically engaged in the
cultivation of a farm on the East side of Geneva
Lake 9 miles from Geneva. Mrs Bowen represents
his situation as f very attractive – and he is
delighted with his occupation – he married a
a french girl
She is as much pleased as himself with the
residence and occupation – The lady was an
intimate friend of Mrs Bowen's niece
has been there on a visit – She sent for Mrs Bowen
expecting — Thursday – Dear Sis I
am very sorry you did not come with our children
I do hope you will be able to come in time to
prevent Fan from going back with those people
Mrs Bowen will probably leave on Saturday
