Well, a letter come from Tamer by the same mail or mails, by Ury, brung in by Josiah.
Jack wuz in the right on’t. Tamer wuz goin’ to have a afternoon party of the Allen race and dynasty and wanted Josiah and I to be sure and come and stay all night, for the rest wuz comin’ and goin’ by train and stage, and they would all go home that night but us and mebby Celestine, and she begged Josiah and me to stay a few days. Well, bein’ through with his hardest work and owin’ the visit, Josiah consented to go and we sot off in good season and arrove there about ten A. M. We see the house looked real stirred up when we got there, the winders open above and below, and the piazzas on both sides full of little groups of the relations; we wuz about the last ones there, owin’ to most all the rest havin’ come on the cars or the stage from Zoar and Loontown.
