Transcription	prudent for times are hard Pa has had no clothes this winter but will get some on way down. I just tell you this over [illegible words] Your loving Ma Sarah G. Bernard Providence 3.4.73 Imagine, My dear dear boy (man) a bright coal fire with a large table in front, your Pa at one end busy inviting contacts while I at the other side, visiting to the loved student in our [illegible word] room, and the bright lamp illuminating yet all is not bright for the son is wanting to give brilliancy to light up the dark corners of our hearts Your letter to Pa was duly received but constant company has prevented me writing my weekly. Mr. Decker returned and with his wife Vicksburg pursuing her claim against the government and Dr. Butts spent a few days. He has gone again to try to get something to do and Anna returned to Mrs. Montgomerys last week Mrs. Bagley spent several days and on Monday last Mrs. Owen [Snoddy] and Bob Bagley who said tell Fred he must come up when he comes home. Old Mrs. Owen requested her love to you said you were a favorite of hers. Lizzie B- was also here and the usual amount of message with much love was implored to be sent to you. Liz and Bob had a [round] as customary but the former seemed gloomy from some cause I have not called on Mrs. Vail Montgomery yet have really had no time.

Mr & Mrs. [Frellsen] are going to live in Ed Williams cottage, they board at Mr. [Egatleys] have been here several times. Egelby has been compelled to go into liquidations and is selling at cost for cash- as I sent you the papers. Monday I presume Pa will go to Orleans last of week to make business arrangements for carrying our planting. You can write for [illegible word] but darling be Will give you no [several illegible words] you will perceive the sad calamity that has befallen poor Mrs. [Raugh] her home in ruins. Ed Willson is recovering slowly from pneumonia at Le Mays� poor Frank Fitzgerald has paid the debt of nature- telegram received last week of his death. Molly Blackman was to have been married on 26th last month (and I presume is) to a Mr. House in Orleans The [illegible word] man I have for cook, and delectable Ed both sick- the former for several days. I am having a jolly time. Matie Knox still in
