My Dear Son

   You may be surprised to find my letter dated
from this place. I left Bangor the 26 of Oct. and arrived here
the 29th received your letter the evening before I left and
congratulated you and your dear bride with much happiness.
I write this at Mr. Mardens. Mrs. is very well has lately been
confined with a young daughter. I expected to find Mr. Lyford
in Boston have not seen or heard any thing of him, wish you would
write me if you know what he has concluded to do, if he moves
his family here think I shall spend some time with them,
am happy to hear Marks health is improved and of the little son
and mother, all are doing so well,-my love to Eleanor
shall spend my time with Mrs. M. till I hear from you or
Mr. Lyford, left Stephen and his family well. May all
s dear children accept the love and affection of their
mother
