Dear Friends
A line from
Parker Pillsbury Saturday
night, said he would be
in Rochester Wednesday
night, or Thursday- stop
with you one night – one
at your Fathers & one at
the farm- If convenient
for you, it would no doubt
be pleasant to him to
[illegible] you to he at the Depot,
should he come Wednesday
on the 7:30 train- it is too

(Page 2)

late & will be too dark
for me to be there- and
my Father will not be
at home- he says
nothing of speaking here,
but- you talk with your
Mother & Father- & see if
they will not ask for the
Universalist Church for
Sunday P.M. for him
to speak in- They may
refuse- I would come & do
the work- but we have not
help that can be left with
mother- who is very feeble -
Yours sincerely – S.B. A.
