ALFRED GILMAN COLLECTION WRITTEN BY SAMUEL A GILMAN
Levant Jany 11th 1833 Dear Cousin I received your letter Dated Jany 3rd in answer to mine, and was very glad to hear that you were a printing a paper there, and hope you will find a sufficient number of subscribers to make it profitable. I received also three numbers of your paper, which I am very much pleased with and supposing that, the more subscribers the better. I have obtained four in this place and have enclosed the amount in this letter. You may direct them to the Post Master Levant, M.E. They wish to have the back numbers sent. I am much obliged to you for sending me your paper, and hope I shall have it in my power to repay you for your kindness. You inquired about this place, I cannot say much in its favor. There is but little society here, and a very little literacy taste as you will perceive by the small number of subscribers which I have obtained, however, this is a place of considerable business and not the worst place that ever was that is all I can say about it. I hope you will meet with success, in all your laudable undertakings. Charles, I understand will leave Dixmont and remove to Bangor in June next and go in to practice with Father. My business is such that I cannot write any more at present. I shall be glad to hear from you often. Give my love to all enquiring Friends and except the same from you affectionate cousin Alfred Gilman
Samuel A. Gilman
