Text Any textual data included in the document [Note: page is ripped and begins in the middle of a phrase] natural principle based on similar natures, similar taste, feeling and mode of thinking While a sickly habit and a feeble constitution had retarded my growth, a more healthy and vigorous constitution enabled you early in life to equal me in size and in a few years to take the advance. Brother A. was always looked upon as our "older." He and our sisters had gone into company extensively before [u]I[/u] was [u]large[/u] enough and [u]you old[/u] enough It may have been owing to this circumstance that we never acquired a stronger attach- ment for the more fashionable amusements, that might not be inaptly termed the "[?stuff?] of life", such as dancing, convivial assemblies, "balls" and pleasure parties. Though [Note: page ripped] [?every-body?] is ready to bring an excuse ^[for] all the acts of life, some think that [u]even[/u] [Note: page ripped] are not without their benefits. If we [u]seek[/u] an excuse for any of our conduct we [Note: page ripped] almost always sure to find one; and it would be strange if we could not possess ingenuity enough to find at least a [u]seeming one[/u] for dancing. Grave professors of religion are not infrequently heard descanting on the advantages of the dancing school in improving the manners of young people when [u]manners[/u] [?form?] no part of the teacher's business; indeed [u]many[/u] dancing masters are themselves essen- tially deficient in good breeding and good manners if not even in [u]respectability[/u]. To some I may perhaps seem to be unjustly severe; but if [u]your[/u] observations have coincided with mine, since my first intercourse with the world, you would have no hesitancy in saying, most of these masters, as they are called, are of such characters and principle that no parent would be willing to have a son or daughters modelled by them. Some of them are perhaps the last that I [?should?] refer to as standards of politeness and good manners; and not a few possess no more than a [u]passing share[/u] of respectability. But [u]we[/u] have never been spoiled by dancing; and I apprehend neither regrets that he has never been more attached to this amuse- ment. From the characters of our dancing-masters, and of those who practise it most, in the sphere of my observation, very few of our [u]more respectable[/u] young peo- ple practice or even countenance this amusement. But I will not trouble you with a dissertation on practices that we are little liable to fall into, even though we were not now already [u]too old[/u]. I know those, however, who do not hesitate to practise it in their uncouth manner at [u]twice our age[/u]! Capt. G. with whom I boarded evinces no less fondness for it than formerly, even though he has numer ous grand-children and has [u]twice[/u] made the nuptial vow! Nuptial vow! ah, this makes me think of the last [u]improvement[u] in the condition of my West- tern Brother. Allow me to congratulate you in the wisdom of your choice, and the happiness of a union with the [u]only one[/u] your heart had selected from our nu- merous acquaintances for her amiableness, piety, affection and goodness. I should now delight to visit you; as I have known you as the [u]brother[/u], and [u][?coelebs?], I want to see how you look as the [u]husband[/u]! Be assured of my best wishes for your hap-piness in your new connexion, and though I share no ordinary portion of happiness in my lonely sojourn in the valley of celibacy, I rejoice that I have a brother that en- joys [u]even more[/u]. I need not say, so worth a companion you cannot but love. [Note: page is ripped and begins in the middle of a phrase] make such an arrangement. I think rather favorably of such a step as the town is increasing rapidly and new houses are constantly going up. More than in any town around. People are "marrying and giving in marriage", building, and even the old meeting-house, with its spire towering [u]ad astra[/u] is threatened with dem- olition to make room for another of less dimensions, but more elegant and comfor [Note: page ripped] ble. The old [?sheds?] have already disappeared and a long train of new ones have taken place, though yet unfinished. Our Rev. Uncle, you are aware, was long since dism[Note: page ripped] though he has had employment almost every sabbath since. A young Re[Note: page ripped] by the name of Sessions is settles as his successor in the place. He was ordaine[Note: page ripped] Oct. 2d. Uncle, thinking himself not treated with common courtesy (as did also the other clergymen in town) concluded out to be present on the occasion. The fault of disre- spect, or [u]overnight[/u] as the most favorable will have it, was mostly chargeable to the of- ficiating parish Committee. In regard to the Ordination, very little trouble was taken in the parish to [u]prepare[/u] for the occasion and little on the part of people at large to [u]attend[/u]. I was invited to about a half a dozen places to dine; but as my invitation were mostly [u]incidental[/u] I did not feel very much elated nor rate them very high; and accepted of the one that accommodated my business best. The people [?present?] would no more than make a [u]middling sunday congregation[/u]- the house would have held twice the number. They were hasty in the settlements of Mr. [?S?] and, in my o- pinion, [u]injudicious[/u]. He had preached to them only 6 or 7 sabbaths, and I believe du- ring this short-time not in [u]person[/u] always, but by exchange. [u]He[/u], too, seemed eager and hasty for a settlement; and I should think he thought more favorable of his prospects than I do, or have; otherwise he would have been more deliberate, and perhaps under such circumstances, preferred the situation of the [u]Candidate[/u] to the set- tled [u]Pastor[/u]. But is it said, "he was in a hurry to get married" and for that pur- pose [u]urged[/u] the parish on to a ^[more hasty] consummation of their union than they were re- ally ready for. Judge of the circumstances for yourself when I tell you the parish meetings to "give him a call" were hasty and thinly attended. On such an interesting occasion should you think there could be such an apathy that no more than 14 would attend? - and of these, we are told that [u]one opposed[/u], and another would not vote at all! Think you the [u]Parish generally[/u] can long preserve harmony, be united and contented in a settlement effect by so few? If I do not miscalculate men and times there is little permanency in the whole matter; and you must not be surprised to learn before [u]yours[/u] have passed that there is difficulty, or even he dismissed. The old adage is, "hot love is soon cold"- however true or appropriate this may be in the present in- stance, the [u]"hot"[/u], I believe, was not extensively felt. No more than half the paper in the parish probably attended the ordination. Mr. S.'s character as a preacher does not proba- bly [u]transcend[/u] the [u]mediocrity[/u]. He would not be called handsome; though his personal appear ance is not disagreeable. He has numerous friends, and those warmly attached to him- and I have no reason to be unfriendly. His salary is $500. He was no sooner settled then he took a journey and, on his return, brought with him his [u]"fairer half,"[/u] his "better self" his amiable bride. [Note: page is ripped and begins in the middle of a phrase] at 3 1/2 [?A?]M. [u]Ceres[/u] is south at 5 in the morning, [u]Pallas[/u] at 3h33m. morning; [u]Juno[/u] at 11h48 them all out. So, too, it will be seen at 7h11m morning; Hershell at 4 P.M. - so you may search subject of observations. If you wish to ascertain the [u]true North[/u], it be will be pointed out at 6h. 18m evening. I have been this particular because it is sometimes important to how the true north; and as the North, or Polar Star revolves around a little circle of 3° 10' across [Note: page torn for several lines] it will be on the meridian at those times respectively and just 12 hours from then everal times. I should like to say much more upon Astronomy (more properly ^[it] would e called [u]Astrology[/u]) but for want of room - as I have not a little yet to say on other subjects -- the various fixed stars, that so beautify our heavens these pleasant eve - nings, and the various constellations must be excluded. I have always taken pe- culiar delight in my researches in this sublime science, and have given several lectures upon it in Lyceums - one appointment of the kind was quite recent. The subject of Meteors was for the [?entaiment?] of one evening. This was just after the beautiful exhibition of Meteors, "shooting" or "falling stars," vulgarly so called, on the morning of Nov. 13. No account is needed for all the newspapers have been full of them. I have seen ac- counts of them from the South as far as [?S.C.?] and from the West as far as the western part of N.Y. -- But I must leave the stars &c for the present. --------------- Well, our Rev. Uncle is again married - the happy bride was Miss Sarah [?P. Callendar?] of Boston. They were married at Boston Nov. 25th a very stormy day. So that I passed thanksgiving with them, three days after their marriage. I wish you could visit there at this time- you would find, besides our new [u]aunt-in-law[/u], the parlor and drawing room nearly [note: page is ripped where it was once folded] ed, painted and carpeted, too neat and beautiful eight-day chr nometer suspended from the ceiling, a large mirror set in mahogany &c. and am not sure that the closet and dining-table have not received some fine additions. Among other pleasant things I should not omit the mention of some [u]cheerful and smiling faces[/u]. Mrs. N. appears to be a pleasant and sociable woman - may she continue so: and I hope this connexion will be promotive of more happiness and harmony than that between [u]Adam[/u] and his brother's Widow. Adam, I am informed, is now in Canada and expects to remain there on hearing of the death of one of his sons there, he left this region with the expectation of not returning. He and Joseph's widow probably never lived happily together. They are doubtless better separated. Our cousin Sarah still remains, and I see no probability of her being married - her health has lately been very good, though a few days since I gave her some medicine. Thomas Jr. and wife now reside at Holliston - probably doing very well - he is quite steady [illegible] one of our temperance members. Edwards was at his father's at thanksgiving; but his lady, Miss Sarah B. Shepard, of Boston, was not with him. Charles lives at home, is a very worthy young man - has, for months past, been working on the Railway which passes Un- cle's house at the distance of about 20 rods north. The iron rails are laid part of the way but not yet through Needham and towns above.- I have not visited Acton for more than a year. When Uncle preached there, a short time since, our friends and relatives were in usual health. I have not seen Medway friends since I was over there soon after Mr[?s?] W's return. I received from you by Mr. Mason some specimens of minerals, but no letter - thank you for them. They will remind me, as my eye meets them on the shelf, of Ohio and a dear brother re- siding there: though they are not needed for [u]that purpose[/u]. Our Cousin Caroline Brooks I hear is in the western part of N.Y. She is truly a fine, interesting girl - Elizabeth of Acton. Cousin Isaac is wandering up and down in the earth and I fear not doing very well. By letters from Westmore land I learn our friend Adeline, now Mrs. [?Hurd?], is at her father's. Her sister Alma and husband have emigrated to the West - so I may never see them again. You have doubtless feared that our Cousin Charles White is at last married!! Mary Brown is also married and now resides at New Ipswich. Though I am guardian to a young lady. I neither claim nor exercise any control over the wiser concerns of the heart - adieu for the present - J. Noyes [Note: Written sideways] Tender my affectionate regards to Lois, and aspire her of the interest I feel in the wife of my valued brother [Note: page torn] allow [u]her[/u] a [?spa?] done - i.e. [u]write sooner[/u].

Text Any textual data included in the document Needham Mass. June 10th 1825 [Note: In blue pen] 11 MA from Boston Dear Sisters, [u]Your letter[/u], it appears, has not reached me yet; tho' brothers V's was received wednesday the 8th, and I can as- sure you was perused with great pleasure and interest. For it I than k him sincerely, and shall you, when [u]yours[/u] arrives. I had made frequent applications for one at the nearest post-office (at Newton) and began to think I had not been particular enough in-directing where to have them left; I would now request. that you di- rect them to [?he?] left at Newton post-office Painful indeed is the separation of friends- I found it so, I must confess that I never experienced the verity of this remark as when I left my fathers house never more to enjoy the comforts and consolations, or participate in the joy and happiness of domestic prosperity; but called to leave the [u]paternal roof[/u] with its beloved tenants and to launch out into the wide ocean of the world, not knowing the place of my destination, but as it were, at random- to leave the bosom of parents, brothers, sisters, rel- atives and friends, [illegible] their embraces, once, while viola- ting humanity thus, receiving their parting benedictions and good wishes so tenderly, and, as I have reason to believe, cordially bestowed by benevolent hearts- to turn my back on all these, now, so endeared to me, and go into a strange land, not knowing, like Paul, "what is to befall me," there to mingle in other society, form a new circle of acquaint- ance among people of whose customs and habits I am ignorant, and, among the distressed to seek out a sustenance in a time of perhaps unusual health and prosperity. Reflections like these, were there not, a consciousness of duty, must be insupportable. But a consciousness of duty will afford support under the severest trials, and render the heav- iest crosses light - such a support I needed and was not entirely destitute of.- When, often starting, I have reached the top of capt. Thayer's hill almost breathless form excessive heat and fatigued by walking, (beyond which I could not see home) I mounted my horse, turned to catch the [u]last glance of home[/u] and composed a set ^of verses of which the following were among the first------- 1. To thee Dear Home, a long farewell May happiness be thine Where I no longer claim to dwell But seek a [u]home[/u] of mine. 2. Dear Parents, may you long farewell, [?Hear?] us richest blessings share While 'tis your lot below to dwell While you for heaven prepare. 3. &c c c c ------- I mentioned in my last the kind and welcome recep- tion I met with from the people of Needham, and had I descanted largely on their friEndship and kindness I should not have recalled any thing in this letter. Indeed their kindness and friendship far exceed any thing that I could have anticipated; as I have frequent occasion of witnessing. It would hardly do to suggest a thought of leaving, although it is called an unusually healthy time, as they would not assent. Though I am somewhat lone- some and have not much to do, they endeavour to comfort and cheer me, not only with the encouraging pros- pect of my having their practice, but lessen my expense by almost supporting me with their beneficence. They seem very pitiful towards me as the following will show- at a late meeting of the committee for divi- ding the town, consisting of the principal men, after a committee was chosen for laying out a road which is to carry the travel from Hartford tho' Needham, they con- ferred among themselves respecting my situation at a time of so general health, and concluded, as I was an expense and had little to do, the prospect must be somewhat dis- couraging, so they agreed to give me an invitation to go to their respective houses to board a week, or, as they ex- pressed it, "as long as I chose ^with my horse if I chose, desiring me not to be discour- aged but wait as there would probably, before a long time be more for me to do, They say I may keep the [?stable?] her than among you. My employment is not very lucrative at present, and were it not for the fu- ture prospect, or were the people indifferent or, what is worse, [u][?inimiced?][/u] towards me, I might not think the place afforded sufficient inducements for me to stay. I have accepted their invitation to board about amongst them at the [illegible] places, and, accordingly am now living on the generosity of ^a wealthy and very kind neigh- bour of mine, a man of influence, the one who accommo- dated me when thro' mistake I was obliged to stay over night at this parish when I was down before. Situated as I now am within 11 miles of Boston, it is no great journey to visit this metropolis, but such an one as is early and frequently performed. On the 17th of this month I ex- pect to be present at placing the corner stone of the mon- ument at , see the general Lafayette, president +c if nothing occurs to prevent. You must see my situation is of a peculiar kind; I do not seem to have time at my disposal, but liable to be called away to the distres- sed at any time, and thus thwa^rted in my plans, projects or designs. When the labours of the day one o'er and the worthy peasant, void of care, reclines himself upon his bed resigning to forgetfulness and enjoys calm, silent, and refres- hing repose, with his mind unperplexed by the great var- iety of objects that occupy the mind and distrust the slumbers of the literate or men of letters and particularly the physician,- I recline my weary head upon my pillow but know that I shall sleep an hour e'er up I must get and away to the abode of misery, unknown where. Would you form a correct idea of my situation, imagine me situated in the E. parish of N. occupying a pleasant chamber in the S.W. corner of the tavern ^which is pleasantly sit- uated on a small eminence commanding an extensive prospect around, kept by Mr. Mills and his sister, both unmar0 ried - my room furnished with a bed, table, chairs &c, all which are convenient, with two closets, one for my cloths, the upper with shelves on which are to be [illegible] considerable assort- ment of medicines, and these in bottles, phials, large tin box es, papers, pill boxes +c. with some instruments; a shelf the fire-place to uphold a row of books, tho' not a great sometimes pill boxes, books, papers, news-papers, tooth- instruments +c with post bags under it, all ready, as you perceive to despatch business, or at hand in case of emergency -- farther, imagine me receiving benefits from my good hearted generous abetters, frequently receiving invitations to visit the [u]well[/u], with occasionally a call to visit the [u]sick[/u], run- ning about and making frequent visits, riding about, occasionally visiting at my Uncle's, with my pockets sometimes so heavy as to be rather uncomfortable. When alone my books af- ford me company, and when lonesome a tune, occasionally, out of the good old Bridgewater Collection [?serves?] to beguile tedious [?time?]. While the tree-toad, quail, robbin and a variety "feathered warblers" gladden the day with their diversified notes often not undelightfully chiming together, the evening is no less destitute of its peculiar min- strels, for the whippoorwill and frog, raise their notes as if emu- late the songsters of the day by which alone the serenity of the eve- ning is interrupted; and the fire-bug emits his streams of golden light as if to prevent the reign of darkness, and simulate, with its ray, the glorious emanations of Sol, when he has shrouded his lu- cid face in impenetrable shades of night. Thus you see somewhat how I am situated. If on account of my [u]celibacy[/u], I am debarred from any practice that I otherwise might have, as has been intimated by some, the [u]fault[/u] if [u]theirs[/u], it belongs to [u]them[/u] to [u]mend[/u] - if [u]mine[/u], the case, perhaps, is not yet hopeless or irremediable did circumstances admit. Tuesday I was over to Boston and saw [u]Messrs[/u] Lane and Frost who were well and said S. Stone of that [?place?] was likewise. Wednesday the Education Society met at at the other parish- I went over-dined at Uncles with about 15 ministers who were present. Uncle and family are well and wished me send their love which you will please to receive and dispense with mine to father and mother, sister, brothers and inquiring friends at your discretion. Your affectionate brother J. Noyes J. Z. V. N.

Text Any textual data included in the document Needham Mass July 10, 1839 Dear Sister, I little thought when we parted that so long time would lapse without any communication between us. I indeed thought at the time that one of us would write very soon; but constant care and business have hitherto kept, [u]my[/u] pen silent and perhaps [u]yours[/u]. I sup- pose you have been waiting to have us write first as we have received no letter from you; but you should not wait - if [u]we[/u] are dilatory [u]you[/u] ought not to be. We have not heard any thing from Westmoreland since our return; but Elizabeth will write sister N., as I expect, immediately. We have had no communication from our brother at the West since our return, though I expect one by every mail. Neither have we heard from our Acton friends since we left them on our return from N.H. We had as pleasant a journey, on our return, as we could expect [u]with our usual luck of a storm[/u]. The first day was pleasant and we enjoyed the ride very much, stopping occasionally, as we did, to view whatever was beautiful or interesting. Before we reached Keene we stopped and looked for your locality. We could see the huge hills upon which you so delightfully reside and [--and--] view a vast extent of rich landscape not only [u]around[/u] you but spread out far beneath you. Here, and also from the Swansey hills, as we ascended them, with the telescope we could see the road up the hill, the house where you reside and other objects, and the very windows +c. But we could not see siser Z. although we scrutinised the place closely. As we reached the beau tiful village of Keene we made a short stop - dropped into [?Wales?] Kimball's store and brought home something to remember him by in the form of two dresses for Elizabeth. So we have something to remember Keene by almost constantly before our eyes. And a nice bit of [u]ma- ple sugar[/u] reminds us of the hospitable family with whom you reside, and the kind attentions of a beloved and affectionate sister. We took a taste on our way home and reserved a part for a future occasion. When I was in Boston, a short time since, I bought some though not so good; and the price was 15 cents a pound. - We rode through the narrow and romantic valley beside the river between Keene and Troy. While stopping at the the latter place I took a sketch of the Monadnock and Gap mountains- which I have now with me. In Keene I could find no microscope for sis- ter N. that saited me- so I made no purchase of one there. I have since purchased her one in Boston which she will find worth what I gave for it - $1,50. I left it ^at Maynards V Noyes, [illegible] Merchants [?Room?] awaiting her order. We found a profusion of flowers on our way home but I did not feel satisfied not to go up on the Monadnock, The first day we took supper at Ashburnham and rode to Lunenburg- where we spent the night. Here we found a genteel house and, on leav- ing, had a [u]genteel bill to pay[/u]! We preferred to ride a few miles before breakfast, as is my custom, ands the taverner probably felt a little piqued that we did not breakfast with him. Had he known how we fared in regard to our breakfast it might have been some satisfaction to him; for we found it difficult to meet with a public house before we experienced considerable inani- tion. After we had ridden a few miles the rain commenced and continued through the day. We called, in Acton, at Thomas J. Noyes - and were informed that Mrs Brooks did not feel able to start as she thought she might when we went up. We thence hastened home without loitering or going any unnecessary dis- tance - found things at home in as good condition as we could expect, considering we had left three little mischievous fellows there. We found, too, that there had been as few calls for me in the absence as could be expected. There was one melancholy occurrence while I was gone. A Mr Upham, of Dover, whom I saw the day before I left home, shot himself during the absence. He had been sick and delirious; but had so far recovered that I should have dis- continued my visits had I been at home. His delirium must have returned. In the absence of his wife, it appears he put the muzzle of the gun to one ear and blew his head all to pieces. As he was a respectable man and in good circumstances he could not have been sane. The season with us seems favorable for almost all kinds of crops. Health, too, seems to pervade almost the whole community. The most fatal disease that has prevailed has been the Scar- let fever in Boston. Rains have been frequent and plenteous. Much thunder, too, we have had. Almost every day we have thunder showers, though we hear of but little damage by lightning. Our flower garden begins to show something to pay us for our trouble and expense. Directly before my eyes is a beautiful Dahlia that has just expanded. We have a a variety of roses to the number of about ten, from species of Lilies, Aconite, Silene, Ocnothem, Popies, Asters, Pinks, Sweet Williams +c. Among the handsomest is a beautiful China Pink which has been in blossom several weeks.. How I should like to stroll in the woods around you and see the wild flowers that bloom there! Although we shall be furnished with flowers, [u]fruit[/u], with us will be scarce. Our cherry trees flowered very fully and seemed to promise abundant fruit; but we scarce;y have any - so of apples. A frost that succeeded the flowering season destroyed nearly all the fruit. I have been busied about my hay, but have now just deposited ^it safely in the barn. The fourth of July, as you will observe by the papers, has been celebrated, and [u]variously[/u] celebrated, in many places. We went to Holliston and heard the celebrated orator + scholar, A. H. Everett. There was a vast concourse of people there. The morning was fine, but various thun der showers during the day interfered somewhat with the festivities in many places; but in no place more; I believe, than with the ladies celebration at the Lower Falls, in the manner, as they called it, of a [u]Charity Fair[/u]. Their tables, finery and [u]even their fair persons[/u], as I bain, were drenched with the rain - which was no respecter of persons on this occasion at least. We did not dine [illegible] but returned immediately after the exercises, thinking to ride to the City to see the splendid fire works there in the evening. We, however, did not find it necessary to go so far as there was a beautiful exhibition of the kind at the Upper Falls, where the Sunday School children had their celebration.- Mr Ritchie has been absent on a journey to the western port of N.Y. but has probably now returned. In his absence, we have had a variety of preaching- 1st sunday Mr [?Kimball?], Unitarian: 2d Mr Skinner, Universalist: 3d. Mr. Colman, Agricultural Surveyor of Mass. and Unitarian: 4th Mr. Beckwith Agent of the Peace Society and Orthodox.- We have also been visited by Agents of the Anti-Slavery Society. Elizabeth sends love to you. Affectionately, your brother J. Noyes [Note: Written sideways] [Note: Drawing of a hand pointed] You must not fail to come and spend some time with us when you have finished your school + write + let us know how + when you will come.

It should have been soon answered, and indeed would have been, had not the pressure of business prevented; and this alone has prevented my seeing you at Westmoreland. At the time of receiving it, and for some time before, I had been planning a trip to N.H, and hoped to be accompanied by our Rev. Uncle or his son Thomas and wife. But they have all disappointed me and I them; for ^neither they have gone, no I; though a linger ing hope yet remains. Your requested information respec ting our Rev. Uncle's affairs. - Seeing him soon after, I reques ted him to write and speak for himself;- this, he inform ed me a few days since, he had performed; and I pre- sume long ere this you have had a full correct account. He was dismissed after I wrote you, as I be- lieve I told you it was probable he would be. Though he is liberated from his people and they from him, he hardly accredits them for an honorable settlement. He did with them as he said he would, settled; but as he further told them, he [u]does[/u] not say, [u]has not[/u] said, and [u]will not[/u] say he is [u]satisfied[/u]. My opinion is respect -ting his people that will sue the course they have taken if they do not already. My opinion respecting the whole is, that had he been a little more conciliatory to- wards them, the first difficulty, which was not indeed very extensive, might have passed over and he still remain ed their pastor. I am persuaded of this from a [illegible] view of the whole matter, and especially from the treatment he still receives from his numerous friends and most of the respectable people of the place. He is still called upon to visit the people in their sickness and attend most of the funerals, though there is another minister in the place who preaches to them [?statedly?]. Uncle has had, since his dismission, abundant [--of--] em- ployment, otherwise you would have seen him long before this. For most of the time he has been preach ing at Bridgwater, where he was very well received well treated, [u]well paid[/u] - better paid than by his former parishoners. He still insists that he does not regret his separation from the latter. 3Oth The terms of his settlement, if you are not already in- formed, are, that they pay him $500 and all the arrear- ages which have been accumulating for years and will probably swell the sum to more than $800. And in addition to this the people are obliged to pay their [u]new[/u] minister, Mr. Sessions $5000. It requires no great foresight to predict they have been laying the foundation for a [u]permanent difficulty[/u]; for when Mr. Noyes was their pastor, there was complaints made that their burden was too heavy for them. How much more discontent will there be when, instead of less than $400, they are obliged to pay this year much more than $10000, if Mr. Noyes requires all his pay. But this is not all. The parish meetings, that have been called to obtain the sense of the people res pecting the settlement of Mr. Sessions and his salary, were thinly attended; so that, though the parish are [u]apparently[/u] acting, the greater part have not really acted at all; and the majority will [?now?] probably be backward soon to show their disaf- fection in censuring and finally resisting the do- ings of the minority. Indeed I little expect to see them again united as they have been. Those who were so indifferent to the settlement of Mr. S. that they did not attend the parish meetings, when it was known that they were for the purpose of "giving him a [u]call[/u]," will not very cheerfully contribute to his support or attend very constantly on his preach ing. If they are [u]taxed[/u] they will probably "sign off," as the expres- sion is; and if they are [u]urged[/u] to contribute their proportion they will be likely to say, let those who settled him pay him. Not withstanding all this, he has given his answer to settle; and his ordination is to be next wednesday, Oct 2d. Respecting Mr. Noyes' [u]Successor[/u], Mr. S. or his, preaching I have little to say, having heard him but once; but if, according to the [?Mantuan?] bard, I am from [u]one[/u] to learn [u]all[/u] ("ex uno disce omnes") I should not like him so well as though he were less lavish of his poetry and anecdotes; for it seemed as though he would have exhausted the whole poetical corps! The people, too, we think, have been too precipitate, for he had preached to them, when he received his "call", but seven sabbaths. The old adage says, "hot love is soon cold," - and we shall not be surprised to see this soon verified. ----- But I must stop, for the present, for a gentleman is at the door wai- ting to have me go a few miles to see his wife. more when I return. ------------ [Note: Written sideways on page two] Nothing very late from Varnum - he has written once since he was married - he appears much pleased with his change of life- should [u]I[/u] be as much? Love to all the family + friends. I shall visit you if I can. [u]Oct. 1st.[/u] Having a large circuit to take yesterday I did not return in season to transact some other business and finish my sheet. Several evenings past have been delightful, being lit up by the full moon, (last evening in conjunction with the beau tiful planet Jupiter) and several bright fixed starts of the first magnitude, Antares in the S.W- Arcturus in the N.W. - [?Atair?] passing the meridian in the evening - Fomahault in the S.E- Capella in the N.E.- Dubhe in the N. - Lyrce and Deneb pas- sing nearly over head. But the most conspicuous, except the moon is Jupiter, the bright planet that rises in the east ear- ly in the evening. With a good telescope that I have I can see his moons very distinctly every clear evening, except when they are eclipsed- which is very often; some of them have been eclipsed every day for three days past. This evening we have a tremendous cold N.E. storm so that I cannot see any of them. I never see them two evenings in the same relative po- sition. They alter their positing in a few hours, or even during observation. By some combinations of the lenses I calculate I magnify the moon about 1000 times- which gives me a per- fect globe or sphere. Even with this high-magnifying power Jupit er appears small from his distance. Venus and Jupiters are the two bright morning stars at this time, the former being nearer the sun. In a few months I hope to have a view of Mars, which is now in the farther part of his orbit and near ly in a line with the sun, so as to be invisible. A good view of him cannot be had much short of six months. I shall feel impatient. The sun cannot be very well viewed with such an instrument without injury. I intend to alter and increase the power still more. I shall not have a good view of Saturn sooner than three or four months; he too is in the farther part of his orbit, and at sunrise is a little west of the sun. He will advance westward from the Sun about 4 minutes a day; or by the earth's motion the Sun will be thrown eastward among the fix ed stars, and Saturn westward till the earth comes between them - when Saturn will be in opposition. This will take place in a little less than six months. Hershel comes south this evening at 8 and 44 minutes, and is very low in the south. The appear ance and position of Jupiter's moons for several evenings past have [Note: Drawings of the appearance and position of Jupiter's moons] been - 27th 28th 29th 30th | But I must talk about something besides stars.

Text Any textual data included in the document Needham Mass. March 12, 1840 Dear Brother, Having just returned from my ride I [u]will[/u] ap propriate time enough-unless interrupted- to fill a short sheet for you even [u]though it be so short[/u] time since I wrote! When sister Zoa was with us we entered into an agreement that we three would fill you a good large sheet. But as our time was occupied one way and another we deferred and deferred till the sudden news of our fa ther's sickness tore her away from us before we had entered upon the execution of our plan. By the letter we recently received her we are happy to learn that father has recovered in a measure tho' he is still feeble. Last autumn he and mother made us a good visit and seemed to enjoy it, as we also did. We were [u]very glad[/u] to have them come and spend some time with us. They, however, did not remain so long with as we wished and as we though they might if they could but think so. When I heard of his sud- den seizure by a paralytic affection I was fearful of the result and thought how said when with us "that it might be the last time they should visit us." Father seems not to be calculating on long life; and, indeed, when he was here he appeared to feel as tho' he might continue with us but a short time; life he though uncer- tain with [u]all[/u], especially to those that have numbered their three score years and ten, as he and mother have. Notwithstanding I never knew him more calm and tranquil. He seemed entirely resigned to God's will, and I do not hesitate to say that for years past I think he has been ripening for Heaven. His sudden demise would not have been ^been surprising; but what will you think- as it is now my painful duty to inform you- that our cousin Edward Noyes is dead! We attended the funeral on tuesday last at the West Parish and looked on that form late so full of life and vigor, now cold in death. The countenance that was lte so full of health, animation and intelligence now shows but the wreck of what it was - for what is the countenance or the form without the soul? What is the mortal without the immortal? The destroyed of all that is beautiful in the human countenance had been there and left those sad funeral marks that usually denote the ravages of typhus fever for such, I understand was the disease. He died in Boston, where he sickened; his funeral was in the church in the West Parish, and Rev. Mr. Rogers of Boston performed the services. There was a very large collection of people. and a more solemn, and affecting funeral I never attended. Mr R. is Pastor of Bowdoin street church of which our cousin was a member. I never knew a discourse more adapted to the occasion. As he depicted the death scene of our cousin all his hearers doubtless responded in their hears, "let [u]my[/u] end be like his." He was perfectly resigned, as we are informed, and more happy as earth receded and the light of heaven broke on his view. I think I hardly ever knew a person to address others on earth who had himself advanced so far into the invis- ible world. When asked how sin appeared - he replied "he seen"now" -"why"? "they are all forgiven." He said he saw Christ on his throne of glory. He seemed surprised that those around him did not see the heavenly light that beamed on his ravished sight. To those around him he said, "Dont [u]you[/u] see it"? - - His death was eminently happy. Mr. Rogers gave a sketch of his sickness and death. His theme was derived from the words of the apostle, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain."-- I have spoken of [u]being informed[/u], for we knew nothing of his sickness till the case was considered hopeless + he had then been sick, I think, about two weeks. I did not see him at all till the funeral. I do know that I have seen him since his marriage in November last. This case is another illustration of the sentiment I expressed in my last. He had every appearance of health + life, and I thought it much more probable that [u]he[/u] would attend [u]my[/u] funeral then [u]I his[/u]. He had been toiling for years and plan[?ning?] for an establishment in life- had taken the homestead in charge [?and?] proved it in various ways with much labor and expense, and cal- culated to make it a permanent home for Sarah + Charles and a summer residence for himself and wife- had just set up a household establishment, and been married to the amiable Clarissa Sloch, the lady of his choice, a little less than four months and he was called to bid adieu to all earthly things. "But to die, is gain," reiterated the preacher, "for there are more of his friends in Heaven than on earth." His interesting qualities I hardly need to name as you know his character already. He was a very enter- prising, interesting, pious young, man - died on his birth-day; last sunday, aged just 32. Sic transeunt omnis mundi. - - - I understand he has left a will, and probably made provis- ions for Sarah and Charles. Thomas lives in Holliston and has about a half-dozen children. Edwards widow will probably return to her father's at the Lower Falls. His mother in law was at the fu- neral - has been residing at Braintree - but is now at her broth er's in Brighton.- From Acton I have heard nothing for a long time. I am happy to learn by sister Z that you contemplate visiting us this spring or summer. [u]Come if you can[/u], for you may never see our aged parents again unless you do; then we will talk with you about our [u]trip to the West[/u]. I should have written before, but thought I would wait the result of ^the case of our cousin. I hope you will not follow my example when bad, but set me on a better one. You are more in the habit of writing that I am. Brother Augustus hardly ever writes me. Last year I tried to make a necessity for it, but he evaded it and obliged Zoa to write for him. Does he never write to you? He has not been down, as I expected, this winter. With us it is a time of general health. The winter has been favorable. The first snow came on the 15th of December and we hardly had a [?than hill?] that which dissolved it all. The Blue-bird, the Herald of Spring, appeared Feb. 20th - last year on the 11th of March - year before on the 6th of March. The Black-bird with his, chattering has returned; also the Song, & the Social Sparrow. The frogs were heard about a month earlier than last year, and some shrubs - the willow especially - have put forth the bud of spring. Till written a few days it was so warm that it seemed the spring this year was about one month in ad- vance of what it had been in years past. But a few days since we had thunder and lightning; this was followed by cold very windy, some squally weather. There is evidently at this time snow at the west and north of us, for the winds are exces- sively cold. The lowest that I have observed the memory the winter past was 13° below 0. During the late warm weather it rose to 60° + 65° in the middle of the day. Evening before last as I was on a visit to a patient in Newton I had the mis fortune to break my sulky badly; but as it was owing to a dangerous place in the road, I have just written to the authorities of the town calling upon them for an indemnity. My life was greatly endangered by the mishap, for my horse was frightened and uncontrollable. Rather than wond der that people die, as they do, it is strange that they live so long when so many dangers beset them. - Dr Jeremiah Stone, who has been connected with the Calico printing business in Newton, has gone to Provincetown to resume the practice of medicine. He did not probably find Calico printing very profitable as he "failed", as the expression is and I suppose every one knows what it means. - A knock at the door ob- liges me to drop my pen. x x x x Well, having finished the busi- ness on which the gentleman called - and, by the way, he hin- dered me a long time- and then having taken a ride some distance to see a very sick child, I now again am seated determined to finish my letter tho' late it be. Such inter- ruptions are most common to me; and there is no alterna- tive but to submit. According to your request I called at the office of the Quarterly Register, paid as you directed me and ordered it stopped. I have their Receipt for the sum I received $2,0 by Timothy Walker on account of the same.

Mr. Mller, who predicts the coming of Christ in 1843, is now lecturing in this vicinity and has been for some time. What do you think of the correctness of his calculations?- Elizabeth was to have filled a page but you see is crowded out - may next time - sends love to you both - your brother Josiah Noyes.

Then, he informs Varnum that their cousin Edward Noyes has died (apparently of typhus fever) and includes a reflection about mortality and the soul. Josiah describes the funeral, the sermon, Edward's last few months, his personality, his will, and his widow's future plans. A few nights ago, Josiah had an accident on the road in Newton so he is asking the town for an indemnity. He says that "politics are now all the rage in this region" and mentions Governor Marcus Morton. Mr. Miller predicted that the coming of Christ would take place in 1843.

Text Any textual data included in the document Needhorm, Jan. 29th, 1826. Dear Sister, Your impatience, solicitation, threats, entreaties, and complaints can no longer be endured. Had my avoca- tions permitted, I should not have wanted motive to induce me to write. I gratefully acknowledge the [?receipt?] of your three letters, mentioned in your last but must, however, inform you the middle one reached quite late; not till some time after Father was down - probably it was mislaid - but how happened it to be post marked, Boston? - Since you was here my health has generally been very good and you are not to attribue my delay in writing to sickness but to other causes which it is unnecces- sary to detail, - but which are not without some reason. You can hardly imagine the [?agreeable?] surprise, that I experienced on seeing, once more, my beloved Fath - by deeply regret that his stay here was [u]necessarily[/u] so short - [u]necessarily[/u], OI say, for I would fain, attribue it to [u]necessity[/u], rather than any other cause - he could not have, otherwise, deprived me of the enjoyment which a longer visit would have afforded, I would not omit to mention the deep [u]regret[/u] and [u]disappoint- ment[/u] manifested by the people of the family in which I [?vevide?] at not seeing him. They were inclined to blame me for not urging enough. You are not to suppose, (as I fear you are inclined to believe) that I cannot receive visits from my friends, or that they could not be accommodated,- no: my friends seem as welcome, and are as cordially received as the near- est connextion of theirs, or friend. - You may now suppose that I am not in want [u]of care[/u] to occupy my attention - on the contrary, I could willingly part with more of it. I need to think that school- keeping, alone, a very arduous task- but, imagine, conjoined with it, about as much practice, as I would wish without it, and you will have a pretty accu- rate view of my situation; and circumstances, I never have had more practice than for some time past, having constantly from four to eight or ten under my care. Feb. 1. How can a short leisure, which I have it in my power to enjoy, this evening, be better employed them in resuming my correspondence with sister Z. which had just filled one page, when it met with an inter- ruption last Sabbath evening.- What mingled emotions are excited by a review of the past? The retrospect ex- hibits a picture so different ^[from the present] state of things, that, were it not for experience, I should be almost induced to be- lieve that my memory deceives me. With what eleva- ted hope did I use to look forward to the sabbath as a day of rest - or with what home-felt pleasure, during the labours of the day, watch the approach of silent evening, when an unbroken family should assemble around a good New Hampshire fire and enjoy a sweet respite from all the fatigues of the day nor hardly realize that it must not always be so- or when Sol hardly allowed an evening, how eagerly anticipation would seize the hours of [?epri- ctude?] and sleep; when the mind, lost to care, should enjoy a refreshing relaxation, and vacuity. - But how does the seene now appear? A scattered family - one removed to a distant part of the country, never more expecting to enjoy again the pleasures of the [u]domestic circle[/u] or longer be the object of parental care. Two others,- how to be disposed of, we know not. The sabbath, now, to me can hardly be called a day of rest, as it brings with it little remission to the labours of the physician who has a tender regard for the sufferings of his fellow beings- pain does not mitigate at the approach of the [u]sacred morn[/u] not sickness become less frequent during the hours that succeed- no; nor even fly the [u]hours of devotion[/u]. Nor is the evening, or even the [u]hours resigned[/u] for [u]rest[/u], more at his command. Disease knows no such periods, nor knows how to stay her hand from afflicting her subjects, or less to intrude on ^[the] hours of [illegible] and repose of her [u]attendants[/u]. These cold win- ter evenings when you are enjoying the comforting influence of a [u]good[/u] [u]fire[/u], I am obliged to take a ride off to see my patients - often help ^[out] this way till 9 or 10 o'clock- nor then know that my days work is done It appears that for time to come I shall not have so much practice as I have been having. [?It?] yet I cannot be said to have been unsuccessful. It has been my mis- fortune to have but: fatal cases. I have had some surgic- al cases lately- these, I flatter myself, were not badly treated- all have done well. A case I visited last evening, at W. would be a fit subject for a Twitchell. This morning I was up by day-light and out on a visit to my last patient of fever. I wish you would visit this women with [illegible] you would never wish to ^[be] in more agreeable com- pany them [Note: page worn] illegible yesterday, last [?night?] and this mor- ning I think I may safely call as cold a time as we have had. Monday night we had a very high wind by which the snow was drifted for the first time this winter. We have had very little sleighing- only a few days- it is not good now on account of the [?rifts?] and bare ground. Such a winter I can never recollect. I was at Bostona short time since and according to my agreement called on cousin S. now Mrs Hosmore. The interview I had with her, though short, was very pleasant. I can but wish Hymen's duper prosperity and happi- ness. These appear to be the lot of my cousin. Free- dom of choice, and liberty to resist Cupid's fascinations and Hymens mechinations, are, I trust, still my preroga- tive. Did I feel a disposition to barter my celibacy (which I value most highly) perhaps I might make as good a bargain at W. as any where. These things are not to be trifled with. you know too well my sentiments on these subjects to require a detail. - Uncle Thomas and family were well the last I heard from them. He and his wife and Mr. Sanger and wife visited us a short time since.- The state of religion in this place is very low. There is not that [?engagedness?] and holy expectants of glory. I choose to make but few vis- its about, except [u]necessary[/u] ones. What would the people of W. think to see the members of Mr. P's church at the card table or in the ball-room? This is conduct I do not approve of. I must confess I find few places where the morals of the people are better, or manners more refined than many at W.- I long again to hear from you- Tell brother A. & wife to take a ride down- if not, to write. I want to see my new [u]nephew[/u].It is doubtful whether I can visit at W. this winter as my tutorship continues 4 or 5 weeks after this. Write soon. Tell V. to write.

He remarks that he cannot even blame it on sickness because he has been rather healthy. He mentions that it is sometimes hard to find time to visit with people because he always has people under his care. Josiah talks about a scattered family, where one is removed to a distant part of the country. He mentions some medical cases he has been having lately.

Text Any textual data included in the document Needham Ms une 1st 1833 Dear Brother Yours of May 3d together with one from sister N. was safely received on the 16th and perused, as usual, with [u]much pleasure[/u] and interest. Believe me, dear Brother, such favors are the choicest I receive, and too valued to come any way i competition with things of mere [u]pecuniary[/u] value. But, as in the common scenes of life, the [u]bitter[/u] is mixed with the [u]sweet[/u] forming man's fated [u]"dulcamara"[/u], so [u]desired[/u] and yet [/u]un[/u]desired, so [u]your letter[/u], while it imparted enjoyment, disappointment the pleasing anticipations I had long indulged of seeing you, I was at Medway sometime since and learned by [u]our[/u] good and valued [u]friend[/u] and [u] your amatissima[/u] [?natarum terraē?], that a letter from you hd just been received and that Mr. Mason, Mr. Walker + daughter L., were cal- culating to start for Ohio about the first of June. How I wish it was in my power to accompany them. But my business and [?iteration?] are such at this time that I myst, though reluctantly, forego the pleasure; but as soon as it is in my power it will be my purpose to go, go and see a brother whose very happiness has at most become identified with my own. Indeed, independ ent of the pleasures of such an interview in the far-off regions of the West, the variety of scenery at this delightful reason would be an ample compensation. What was intimated to me at Medway, by your letter seems confirmed, that you have purchased a farm! I had a very pleasant visit at M. though I had not a long time to stay, and on my return from the factory village to the turnpike, as I was passing Mr. H[u]'s[/u], our elderly man was crossing the road whom I stopped to speak with under a [u]feint[/u] of unacquaint- ance with the roads. My object perhaps you may [u]guess[/u] xxx While we were discussing the subject of the nearest and best- roads to Sherburne and Holliston, and remarking upon the season and weather, a [u]noble-looking young lady [/u] evidently not intending an intrusion upon the notice of a stranger, ap peared at the door and in a moment, on seeing me, shrunk back, and the unfeeling door in its passive obedience, closed a view that I was not [?solicitors?] should be so abbreviated and again concealed from my sight the interesting countenance, as look at the [u]stranger[/u] that was conversing so familiarly with the old gentleman. I could have called with pleasure but was not invited. My curiosity was not altogether satisfied, though rather than ap pear solicitors for an acquaintance, or interview, or opportunity for further observation, I rode on. May I not, if I ride over tomorrow, as I am now thinking, satisfy a curiosity that I deemed it proper before to forego? I saw Dr. B. Mr. [?Ide?] &e. all inquired after you and seemed interested in your welfare. I paid Mr. [?Ide?] the balance of your note and took it into my possession, so that he has now no demand against you or any of us. He did not acquire interest. Father send me the money to discharge the not; and when I see him I shall deliver it to him. So you may feel [u]entirely easy about it[/u]. I believe he never intends making any demand on you except to write him and visit him when you can. This it will doubtless be your pleasure to do. This is kind in him; and the consciousness of such an act will probably be more a source of happiness to him than the actual pos- session of the money. Day after tomorrow I expect out [illegible] wary friends to start for Ohio and they expect, as I in timated to them that I would if possible. I shall see them before they leave. [u]This[/u] i intended sending by them and some pamphlets. A few days since a patient of mine started for Ohio, promised to write me when settled and insisted on my emigrating to the West to settle in his vicinity. I believe he intends going to Cincinati at first but where he shall locate himself he does not now know. He is a very pleasant, agreeable, amiable young man, name Moses Fisher. When you have built your "log cabin" on [u]your farm[/u] and taken to ourself your "better half" I must certainly visit you. I shall want to see how you look. I want to see you now; we should certainly have subjects enough for one day. I observed I had received a letter from sister N. She represents them as in health at Father's. I have just written our parents. They feel somewhat lonely in their declining years to have their children disperse; but I shall visit them as soon as I can. I have been very busy of late [?tho?] it is a very healthy time. I am appointed to deliver an Address of Independence before our Temperance Society. A short notice of the society you will see in a paper I sent you. My red horse, valued at nearly one hundred dollars, lately died, so I have lost him. Yester day I went over to the rail Toad that passes through the north part of this town, accompanied by our Rev. Uncle. It is a stupendous work, and seems too much for man to undertake. They fill up vallies of 60 or 70 feet and cut as deeply through hills. Some part of [?this?] way thing are obliged to eat through the solid greenstone which is extremely hard and unyielding. But they persevere. Uncle's family is well as far as known, Sarah's health is very good, so is Charles. Thomas Jr. & wife live about a mile from his father's. Edward, I believe, is in Canada, was at Quebec of Montreal when last heard from. No late intelligence from [?Acton?]. I have just returned from Dedham where I have deposited about $500 in the Savings Bank for a ward of mine. So I have some duties of the [u]guardian[/u] to per- form as well as of the physician. To-day, too, I have been making out of the Secretary of State a return of our schools. Several of our schools having commenced, a portion of our time and attention are required to visit + regulate them. Botany as heretofore is still a favorite pursuit, so of [?ellineralogy?]. I have make large additions to my cabinet of minerals since you were here. People are much engaged about the contempla ted road from Holliston, by us, to Boston. But the great engrossing subject is the trial of Avery, the Methodist minister, for an alleged murder. I do not suppose that [u]direct[/u] or [/u]positive[/u] evidence can be produced sufficient to [u]convict[/u] him, though it is the general impression that he is guilty, and perhaps in more than one case. The political world around us is engaged in "fierce combat". In three Congressional districts in this state there has been no choice; and our is one, Three candidates are vo ted for, Gen. Dearborn, Mr Jackson of Newton and Dr, Thurber- the first by the masonic fraternity and some others, the second by the Antimasons [?Gen?] and the last an advocate of the present administration. The 10th of this month is appointed for a third trial. I believe I wrote about the affairs of our Revd Uncle. A release is determined upon by the 10th of July next. Then he is to resign the pastoral care of the Church and Society in West Needham. He will probably remain in town, at least for the present. He seems to be very easy about it and thinks it may be for his advantage, though he receives but $500 as his parting ben [u]ediction[/u], together with what arranges are due. Mr. More of Natick is dismissed, is now in the employment of the [?Fract?] Society. Mr. Smith has left Sudbury and gone to Maine. Mr. Whitose you probably know has left Westmoreland. Mr. Fitch from Holliston, Mr. Thatcher again settled in North Wrentham. Elizabath [?Kimball?] of this town is dead, died in Boston. Belsey Wheeler of Westd I hear, is mar ried. Mary Brown likely to follow! Adam Noyes, I believe, is at South Boston, partnership between him and wife dissolved! I do not mean divorce, you must understand. Write soon and often, some and see us as soon as you can, any [u]interesting news[/u] /papers I should be plea sed to receive. Your brother--- Josiah Noyes [Note: page four includes the address] Rev.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from Josiah to Brother, June 1, 1833 Subject The topic of the resource Letters; Travel; Railroads--Design and construction; Botany; Trials (Murder); Political candidates Description An account of the resource Josiah writes to his brother Varnum having heard that Mr. Mason, Mr. Walker, and daughter L. are bound for Ohio and wanting to go to visit his brother. He has heard of his brother's purchase of a farm. Josiah discusses current events in his life, including that he has paid back a loan, his prize horse died, and that one of his patients is moving out west. Sister N. reports good health at their father's. His uncle, Sarah, and Charles are all in good health too. Josiah wants to visit his parents, fearing they are lonely.

Text Any textual data included in the document Rev. Varnum Noyes - from his affectionate brother Josiah Noyes - Needham Mass. Nov 3d. 1832- Dear Brother, Yours of date Aug. 27th was safely lodged at our Post-Office in about 12 days, and was received and read with inexpressible pleasure. It came just at a moment when it was most desired; for Father and Mother were visiting us and we all longed to hear from you; we should, how ever, much have preferred your presence. As [u]that[/u] was impossible, we were most happily favored with the best substitute. But as your letter had the [u]impudence[/u] to appear at our Office with the [u]seal broken[/u] and the [u]contents exposed[/u], I must inquire of you respecting the [u]fidelity of your Post-master[/u] and whether he is worthy of his important trust, and how worthy? Has he ever had the name, or been suspected of opening letters? If he is guil ty of breaking the seal of yours, he has my best wishes for his conviction and punishment; and, could it be proved against him, he is liable, you are aware, to no trifling penalty; I have too much respect for our laws to allow their infraction with impurity; and it would be doing the community a worthy act to use all the means I am possessed of to bring him or any one guilty of such an offense to justice. "Fiat justitia ruat caelum" - should be our motto where the confidence of the public is abused. I should like to know something of his char- acter, for I have just reason to suspect him. Mr. Mills, our P.M. I do not think would do such a deed; and he solemnly affirmed that the letter came to his office, enclosed in its proper envelope, precisely in the condition in which he showed it to me- he also stated that he had no knowledge of what it contained, not having looked into it. The outrage doubtless must have been committed at Guilford or Needham, as, when letters are entered at an office, they are enclosed in wrappers so that they cannot be seen or med dled with except at the [u]office[/u] of [u]entry[/u] and [u]delivery[/u]. A very considerable force was evidently used in opening it, as the seal was so firm that it took out a piece of the paper with it. If [u]our[/u] P.M. be any way in the fault I wish to know it. You need not tell me I have been dilatory in writing, for I know and acknowledge it; but the pressure of business and a desire to see our Medway friends are the only apology I make; and I wished, too, to visit West- moreland before writing. But I have neither seen Medway friends nor visited N.H. as I expected. I understood that some people from M. were about emigrating to the West and I wished to improve such an opportunity to send some things to you.- I had a [u]good[/u] visit from my parents and only regretted that you could not enjoy it with me. Aunt Brooks and Caroline were over, and Uncles Amos and Adam; the latter of whom has resided at South Boston since he and wife separation. Cousin Thomas Noyes I believe I mentioned was married to Mary B. Stone. She makes a very worthy companion for him, is a fine capable woman and has lately become a [u]mother[/u]+ were you to recollect the darkest, cold rainy night we have had this season you would have the night I was called over there. By the way, they are settled in the West Par- ish about a mile below Uncle's towards the Lower Falls. He lives in the house where Dea. [?Benji?] Fuller did, and conducts the farm. Edward is doing business largely in Boston- has taken the tour of a large part of the U.S. - has lately been to N.Y.City, Philadelphia +c. Charles lives at home, is industrious, respectable, and possesses a fine disposition Sarah's health was poor at the time her mother died, and after, but is now healthy, hearty and strong. She with Cousin Caroline Brooks conducts the household concerns at our Rev. Uncles. [u]Nov. 12th[/u] Since I commenced my letter I have been over to Medway, and not find, as I expected, some about starting for the Western country. Mr. Ide and family were well, made many inquiries respecting you, and, on being told I was writing you, sent much love. Mr I- wished to receive a letter from you. My father wished me to see him and request him not to call on you for the [ilegible] ment of a note he holds against you. He said he would pay it; but wished, if I had money to spare, I would pay it and he would pay me: so you may feel easy about the note, as he or I will see it paid. But all this does not satisfy you about Medway; you wish to hear [u]something more[/u]- some- thing about [u]other[/u] folks- something about other matters! Well, I do not blame you; what I have said would be quite unsatisfactory to [u]me[/u] if my [u]greater worldly interest[/u] were connected with the place or [u]invested in any of its peo- ple[/u]. I called at Mr Ws - had a very pleasant call - all well - saw the old folks - saw Mary - and after waiting awhile, saw [u]the one you most want to hear from[/u]. Lois looks healthy, says she has not kept a school the summer past- has passed the time at home and at Mr. Mason's alternately - intended accompaning her father on a visit to her sister's in your region, but were prevented by the prevalence of Cholera along the course of their intended rout, and the severe quarantine regulations adopted in consequence of it. [u]Perhaps you would not have gone over seven[/u] miles to see her! Excuse the irony; L- has [u]not depreciated[/u] that I could per- ceive or learn. [u]I did not expect[/u] to be able to give her any information respecting you that she was not already possessed of. She spoke of having received a letter from you a few days previous. You will not, of course, expect [u]her love[/u] sent thro' the circuitons cause of [u]my letter[/u] when it would be [u]mutually more desirable[/u] to [u]send[/u] and [u]receive[/u] it direct! Mary remains the timid, diffident, [u]demure[/u] damsel you have seen her. Dr. B. + wife inquired about you, and wished an affectionate remembrance. He looks fleshy and healthy, rather more so than when you saw him. Isa- bella Ide looks rather pale and thin, and has lost her hair- finally, has become "[u]more womanish[/u]." Her next sister has grown very rapidly is large, healthy, fleshy and [u]fresh[/u]! - But, oh, I had not the good for- tune to see the [u]good Elizabeth[/u] we used to talk about!! But why so long debarred the pleasure of seeing [u]what[/u] imagination has sketched with [u]surpassing sweetners, winning, amiableness - more than pretty[/u] - good?! you understand I speak of Miss Hixon. I did not even inquire after two! Methinks I hear you repeat the beautiful sentiment of Montgomery "[u]Deep[/u] streams are silent- from the generous breast the [u]dearest[/u] feel ings are the [u]last exprest[/u]." Perhaps I must always regret that I did not make [u]that call[/u] with you, tho' late! But is it yet [u]too late[/u]? We have just heard a rumor that the good Miss Clark was en gaged to a widower of [?Deathen?] with six children! While some were pitying, and others saying "foolish" - [u]all[/u] wondering - some doubting - it was [u]contradicted[/u]. I did not say, [u]some regretting[/u].- She is now keeping a small private school is the old parish in Dedham. I have just re- ceived a letter from sister Zoa stating that they have been expecting me at Wd where all the [u]family[/u] are together execpt [illegible], when will be the time when we shall [u]all[/u] meet. Next Thursday ^Nov. 15th is Thanksgiv- ing in N.H. and I expect now to enjoy it beneath the [u]paternal roof[/u], Prov- dence permitting. I expect to start to-morrow for Westmoreland, though pos- sibly I may yet be disappointed. You know I do not often allow my anticipa tions to run so high as to subject me to a [u]great[/u] fall. O, that I could meet [u]you[/u] there! Z. is engaged to keep a school in Nelson N.H. next winter- to commence about the first of Dec. John Shinner has gone to Utica N.Y. and Harriet Wheeler is married and lives in Westminster V.T. - If occurrences "have thwarted your plans" so as to be the means of your visiting N. England next season, they are an occasion of rejoicing to me. I [u]do indeed hope to see you next season[/u]. You [u]must[/u] come if can. We should all rejoice exceedingly. Our Lyceums have again commenced- that in Needham has had two meetings - in Dover there has been one meeting and I am appointed to give the Lecture ^at the [?craft?] it will be on Comets, and some account will be given of the one now wandering thro' our solar system. Though you may have looked for it it has not probably been noticed by the naked eye. [Note: sideways] Be my sheet larger or smaller it always gets filled before I am ready.

Whatever you may have thought of my delay in answering it the only a pology I have to offer is an entire occupation of all my time and if i had ten more minds and bodies I could find ample work for all. But a portion of time shall be appropriated, if it can be, to the entertainment of a distant brother in whose wel- fare I have always felt a deep interest, whose happiness I had almost identified with my own, whole sincerest affection I have always most cheerfully reciprocated, whom in early life I always considered, notwithstanding a disparity in our ages, my regular playmate, constant companion, perfect equal, and acknowledged brother. Indeed, on a review of our part life, it seems that more complete harmony and clo- ser union rarely if ever subsisted between the members of the family. I do not rec- ollect a circumstance that interrupted this pleasing harmony. The affection that [illegible] always subsisted does not seem to be the result of effort, but a deep rooted abiding [Note: page ripped, missing bottom part of page] Dec. 13 A Meet to large, with the lines^ and words so thick, you will hardly expect me to fill at one sitting. Indeed, Sir, I can rarely have more than time enough at once to fill a common sheet and after commencing [u]this[/u] business called me away and I have hardly had the command of anytime since. This morning, though I have resolved to appropriate a portion of time to the pen, I do not feel at liberty as I could wish: for I shall be ab- liged to ride soon to visit the rich and, per secundam artem medici, afford them, if possi- ble, relief. During the fall I have been very busy: but at this time the number of cases under treatment is somewhat less, But always I have enough to do, even though the number of patients is not great, We of the Superintending School Committee have just recommenced our career of visiting schools; one was examined on monday, two on tuesday, and three still remain to be examined. I shall say little respecting the schools of their teachers, as you are unacquainted with all unless you know Rufus Mills, our P.ell. and last year our Representative int he state legislature, who keeps the one in our district in the new school house. I still reside where you last saw me when at home; though people urge me very hard to move to the middle of the town and erect a house of my own. If I conclude to remain [illegible] [Note: page ripped, missing bottom part of page] Well, since writing the last page, I have taken my ride, visited the afflicted and left them, as I hope, medicine enough not to be molested this cold evening, for it is indeed very cold and clear our of doors. The bright planet Jupiter is now south in the evening, and I have a fine view of him and his moons whenever it is clear. With a [u]telescope[/u] I now have he has a consid erable rise and his satillites are all very beautifully and distinctly seen. By different ar- rangements of the lenses i calculate I can magnify and thousand times. But I do not or- dinarily use the highest magnifying power, as his satellites would be scattered too far from him to be well seen all at the same time. With my largest lens of 6 feet focus his light is almost painful to the eye, and the moons quite so, and often blinds me for some time. The appearance and position of Jupiter and Satellites t this time is . . O . . Their relative position soon varies; in the course of one hour it is often very perceptible, and I can scarcely see them twice in the same position. I have been making observations upon the, and the other heavenly bodies for several months. Innumerable fixed stars are rendered visible which are not so to the naked eye. The moon has the appearance of a [u]globe[/u] and not a [u]plain surface[/u], as to the eye alone.
