My Dear Uncle,
I received your kind letter this

as I think I shall go to Woodville to Church
tomorrow I am very much obliged to uncle
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
forthis kind letter. I wrote to Aunty
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
last
Sundaybut have recieved no answer. I shall write
to Aunty Worden
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
today. We have had two or three
Unknown but no girls. It is very cold here
today so that we have a fire & am in hopes
that It will clear off and be warm.
I asked Mr. Dole
Unknown
the Latin teacher how long itwould take me to enter college and he
replied that I could go in 2 years and no sooner!
and I was 13 last October so that I shall be 16
years old before I can enter I get along the slowest here
of any school that I ever went too. I was quite home-
sick yesterday but feel better now. I am going to
Boston next Saturday with Mr. Parmely
Birth: 1784-10-18 Death: 1862-05-24
and I want to go very much but I do not think he can well spare
the money and unless he presses me very hard to go
I shall not go. Will Uncle please to tell me in his next
if I can get money of Mr. Parmely to get a sumer hat
and my boots mended. Please give my love to Henry
Unknown
and ask him if he will send me a paper
sometimes Please Give my love to Aunty
the next time you write.
Your affectionate Son,
Clarence
