Intends to walk to Kendall Grove today, and must start early as it is five miles away; was disappointed that Uncle William arrived without Uncle Thomas; informs her that Uncle Thomas "is a sorry farmer not to have his corn gathered before this," but will excuse him since he has had the rheumatism; Father will not let Rob go to see them (Lauretta) this year until his lungs get stronger; believes General Nottingham has gone deranged on the subject of religion, but it will soon pass; informs her that this week is her last in her family's house, as it is being sold; believes Father will settle in Washington; supposes she has heard of the death of Cousin Ellen Burbridge. Bears ALS from Susan E. Wilson to Lauretta (?), Feels in such confusion that she is not sure what she has written or what she wants to say; informs her that the house is to be sold on the fifteenth of the month, when they will sell everything, and possession must be given on the first of January; mentions William Savage's departure the next day for Philadelphia; had hoped to see her, but Mr. Wilson seems to think he will be able to visit her soon.
