Description
Varnum Noyes writes to Harriet about what is going on at home. Edward got hurt six weeks ago and has been bedridden ever since. Varnum thinks that it will be a while longer until he is recovered. They have been able to manage with some help with things like husking the corn but Varnum looks forward to when Edward can work again. Varnum tells Harriet about what they have been using the money she sent them for; he bought a book. He concludes by praising his daughter for her religious work.

My Dear Daughter
This is monday
and you can probably ima-
gine what is going on indoors
at the old homestead. Clara
with the assistance of Mary
is doing up our big washing, Mar-
tha and her mother are tak-
ing care of Edward and do-
ing housework. I have chopped
a little wood and got our
turnips into the cellar. I be-
lieve I have now got every
thing gathered in excepting the
cabages, and perhaps they will
be in the cllar before night.
It is just six weeks today
since Edward got hurt. He has
kept his bed all this time
with the exception of a short
time yesterday when we got
him into a chair. From present
appearances it will be a long
time before he will recover. He
is getting tired of lying in bed
though he has bourne it with much
patience. The Lord has given me
such a measure of health that
I have made out to manage our
affairs pretty well with some
hired help. We made a husking
bee week before last one after
noon and our kind neighbors
came and husked all our
corn nicely. We had not very
much, only about two acres.
I shall be glad when Edward
gets well enough to relieve
me of the cares which I now
have to bear. I must tell
you the use I have made
of part of the funds you
so generously sent me. The
order for five pounds when
cashed amounted to about
twenty four dollars. The gold
dollar you sent me as a birth
day present I invested in a
book the title of which is
"Nearing Home." The book is a
compilation in prose and poetry
by Dr Schenck Sec. of the Board
of Publication It cost a dollar
and sixty cts ($1.60) and that
the whole might be your gift
I appropriated [--fifty--] sixty cents from
proceeds of the order. It is a
nice book for aged people,
the poetry being much like
and some the very same as
is found in "Heaven in song."
I have also purchased with
the avails of the order cotton
cloth for shirts and wrappers
amounting to $1,27, a coat and
Vest $7,00, Pants 3,72, using $12,59 of
the order, a little more than one half.
The remainder about $11,40. I [?design?]
to lay out for your mother.
I purchased cloth for three shirts,
two wrapper, & [--one--] a suit of winter
clothes for twelve dollars, the
pants were not made up.
I think this is pretty cheap.
I suppose you have seen the
comet which was splendid two
or three weeks ago but is fast
fading away. The weather is grow-
ing cold. I dread the winter, and
so does my brother Augustus as his
daughter informs us. There is not
much interest here in the subject
of religion. O that the Lord would
revive his work among us, and
that like Simeon I might before
I die see the salvation of God
displayed in a glorious revival of
religion. May our kind Father give
you health and greatly bless your labours.
Affectionately your father
V. Noyes

我亲切的问候
给你的合作者。
塞维利亚 1882 年 11 月 6 日
我亲爱的女儿
这是星期一
你大概可以想象室内发生了什么
在旧宅基地。克拉拉
在玛丽的帮助下
正在洗我们的大衣服，玛莎和她妈妈正在照顾爱德华，然后——
做家务。我切过
一点木头，得到了我们的
萝卜进地窖。我相信我现在得到了每一个
东西聚集在除了
卷心菜，也许他们会
晚上前在地窖里。
今天才六周
因为爱德华受伤了。他有
一直守着他的床
除了短
昨天我们得到的时间
他坐到椅子上。从现在开始
看起来会很长
在他恢复之前的时间。他
厌倦了躺在床上
虽然他生来就有很多
耐心。主已赐给我
这样的健康措施
我已经做出来管理我们的
和一些人相处得很好
聘请帮助。我们做了脱壳
蜜蜂 前 一周 后 一周
中午和我们好心的邻居
来剥了我们所有的
玉米很好。我们没有很
很多，只有大约两英亩。
当爱德华
好到可以缓解
我现在的烦恼
不得不承受。我必须告诉
你是我的用途
您的部分资金
如此慷慨地送我。这
订购五磅时
兑现金额约为
二十四美元。黄金
出生时你寄给我的美元
今天我投资了一个
书名是
“快到家了。”本书是一个
散文和诗歌汇编
由申克 Sec 博士撰写。董事会成员
出版成本一美元
还有六十美分（1.60 美元）和那个
整体可能是你的礼物
我从
订单的收益。它是一个
适合老年人的好书，
诗很像
和一些非常相同的
出现在“歌中的天堂”中。
我也购买了
订购棉花的好处
衬衫和包装布
价值 1.27 美元，一件外套和
背心 7,00 美元，裤子 3,72 美元，使用 12,59 美元
订单，比一半多一点。
其余约 11,40 美元。我设计
为你妈妈准备。
我买了三件衬衫的布料，
两件茄衣，一件冬装
十二美元的衣服，
裤子没有化妆。
我认为这很便宜。
我想你已经看过
出色的彗星二
或三周前，但很快
逐渐消失。天气越来越冷。我害怕冬天，而且
我的兄弟奥古斯都也是
女儿告诉我们。那没有
对这个主题很感兴趣
的宗教。哦，愿主
复兴他在我们中间的工作，并且
像我以前可能的西蒙
我死了看到上帝的救恩
展现了辉煌的复兴
宗教。愿我们慈爱的父亲赐予
你健康，大大祝福你的劳动。
深情的你父亲
