Have I said or done ought against anything saored or divine? Am Igto make another marriage oontraot, or what? I like to be prepared for whatever may oome. On Thursday I expect lﬂarriet & Daddy, May & Libby. Do write to may whilst she is here to spend a day with you on her return. I wish her to see Cousin G's house & your baby. I send you a note from Tryphena. It is quite flattering to see the excitement about our beautiful babies. Tell Green he quite mistook my reason for leaving ?. so soon - it was because I saw that Charley was greatly distressed at the superiority of my baby & then I know that Cousin G would not return until I did leave, as he must have heard through Cousin Nancy & Mrs. Tallman of the rare beauty of my second daughter. Therefore he dreaded the encounter. I What does Cousin G think of affairs at Washington. We shall be in the midst of violenoe,blood & civil war before we look for it. Out fair republic must be the victim of the monster slavery unless we speedily rise in our might & boldly shout for freedom. We are all well. The weather here is very cold. We fear a frost tonight. Now Julius do come hither in June . Nannie _will be quite presentable in another month. Remember me to Amadamoiselle. Do write soon. Tell Charley the Junius meeting begins on Sunday. Much love to Cousin G. V Goodnight Your devoted Johnson PS —Oh$ Julius, shat glorious nights for sleeping. How I do love to sleep. elf you have eggs for breakfast tomorrow tell Charles hey must not put the shells in the dish. If he does it when he oomes here I shall take each shell out carefully with the sugar tongs & put them in the slop bowl & give him a withering look.i

We need say nothing of the merits of this eork having already run through six editions, its popularity is of course its highest commendation. But oh: that one agonizing pain, how dare any aoman try that more than once. ﬂﬁﬁ Oh! how my eoald died within me as I approached that dreaded never-to~be~forgotten ordeal. I laid me down had two oaine which brought the baoy,in fifteen minutee the aeed wee & here I am in the land of the living rejoicing that a female child is born into the world. I suppose you got Kit's letter telling you of the arrival of Miss Harriet Eaton last Sunday afternoon. We are all rejoiced that no boy was sent in her stead. Maggie's joy over her little sister is unbounded. She ieéa nice baby & has plenty of dark brown hair, deep blue eyes, a very rosy complexion & is said to look just like Kit. I wish dear Julius felt as much at ease as I now do but the time will soon be here &"that gain" will introduce to the World Miss Ann Miller. How is Cousin Nancy? that does Cousin G. say to the ﬁteformanoes in Congress? I thi 3 the virtues of w the "etaving off“ policy have been fairly tre*‘;gt Tell Cousin N. i3Auu3 to read the next numbers of "Little Dmrrit” it is a sad story thus far but very interesting as everything of Dickens ie.

Well, on Tuesday nigh: I walked nearly three miles, shopped & made five calls - came home, slept good all night & on Wednesday morning at six I awoke with a little pain, which I well understood. I jumped up bathed & dressed myself, hurried the breakfast eating none myself of course, got the house & all things in order working bravely between the pains. I neither sat down or laid I down until half past nine when I gave up all my vocations & avocations secular & domestic & devoted myself to the one point then brought especially before my mind. At ten o'clock the whole work was completed. The nurse & Amelia alone officiating. I had no Dr. & Henry was in lsyracuse. I laid down about fifteen minutes & never had so speedy & easy a time before although this is the largest child I ever had weighing 12 pounds clothes on. She is very large & plump & her head is covered with black curly hair & oh how I do rejoice in her & now what shall I call her. What is the meat beautiful name ever given to woman? I shall not name her after anyone, for friendships are such passing changing things in the present undeveloped state of the race that the friend of today is the cold stern critic of tomorrow & then how trying to call a loved one by aname that always brings with it a train of most unpleasant associations. When the baby was twenty- four hours old I got up bathed & dressed, sponge bath & sits bath, put on the wet bandage, ate my breakfast walked on the piazza & then the day being beautiful I took a ride of three miles on the plank road, came home rested an hour or so then read the newspapers & wrote a log; letter to Mama. Today I go about as usual. Everything with.me & the baby is as it should be, as yet all things move on right & my joy in being the mother of a precious little girl is more than I can tell you. Now do come & see me right off. The short dress I wore until the last. It is grand for such an occasion & I love it more than ever, Well nhe sitz bath.has never come & if it is not too late just countermand the order as I do not need it now. Love to all,your happy cousin Libs <To €l.o.bav6~5C€.. S‘,.o..rcUlcc.'m-n)

The article signed J.V.N. is your beloved Mr. Johnson, but do not mention it or Jackson _& Miss Gilbert would tear my eyes out. “Our daughter” you see is getting topheayy. She tells three lies this month. She says she was next to you to wear the dress. I wore it several weeks before she did. She says she does not wear a bodice I have never seen her without one, & a very long one too. She says I write over my own signature as much- as to say that I donot write any of the editorials. In this very number are six editorials written by me. The whole column share your name is mentioned is mine, then “The Detroit Tribune", about the Lowell girls & the man in pettiooats.y Which one of us is responsible for this lack of moral senmiment in child? =A.man was sent here from J Boston to get a daguereotype of Mrs. B. for the “Beaten museum“ 3 paper published in that city. It is quite a large paper & the whole first page is devoted to a biographical sketch & full length out of Mrs. B. I think Julius you ought to be thankful that your name has not been blazoned about as a leader of fashion, a kind of female Beau Brummel. I am sure I am glad that I have kept out of this part of the preformance. I would as soon have my name on the bottle I family all over the country, as Lunds Sasaparilla or Stains panacea. No Julius you can immortalize yourself on something better than petticoats.l Julius you must write. You write,excellent letters. Do write one for the next Lily, about servants; children, the costume, labor, or anything. Suppose you write a series of letters to mothers. Reread Combo with care, & teach mothers just how to take care of their babies. This would be a great amusement to you & of real use to many an ignorant mother. You need not let anyone but Massa Johnson know _ ‘until you appear in print & are approved.J Now do this Julius. Amelia & I get on delightfully. We have been feasting on strawberries. My baby is very good & grows finely. I continue to be his nurse & it iiseasier to look after him than to train an ignorant Irish girl. I g thave invented such a variety of ways to keep him quiet, that is ways for him to keep himself quiet. I'll tell you how site now in his carriage, comfortable behind him, pillow before him. A tiny tape is tied to the top, a bell is tied to the top also; hanging down about ltwo fingersfrom the top. He has the long tape in his hands which he plays with just as a kitten does with a string, every little whilehey. knocks the bell, then he looks steadily at it until it is perfectly I still. hhen he is tired of bell & string &.I must invent some otherll position. Thursday morning, I am writing this letter by installments. Two gentlemen from the Oneida Community have just seen downtown their last paper “The free church circular” contains a long article on dress. ylt is excellent. If you do not get that paper I will send YOU 036» I isend you the names of those men & women that are to be recipients of father's boundy here. as Henry had no time to attend to it I got George Price to do his duty for him. Henry is at Canandeigua now engaged in a very important suit. When Charley goes to New Jersey, if con- ivenient for him, I wish he would settle up Neil’sbil1S & I W111 39tt19 with him‘ I sould love to meet the gentry at Peterboro but I Cann0t cleave home with my baby now.

Especially mignonette. I have never succeeded in raising that flower yet. Henry is busy gardening & I am nearly through house- cleaning. We have been home just two weeks, - found everything safe y& sound. It seems a long time since I parted with you & Cousin Nancy at N. Y. How is dear Cousin N.? How utterly vain all the a must seem to her as they do to any sick body.i Wilkeson is getting better at the water cure & now Gate is going. She has sent Maggie to Johnstown. who nurse & two younger children are to come tozme next week. Bayard is to go with his mother, so she will shut up her house & be free from all care for a time. "Dear Cate she has had a hard winter of it. The old house at Johnstown is being pulled down. We looked for you there every day for a week. Why did you not come? My children have all been through the mumps dispensation.i How do yours manage the whooping cough? When you write which I hope will M be soon tell me all about your household & how the house at - ‘f gets on. That trunk Dear Liz was elegantly packed & the satin ress came without a wrinkle. I must give you Mama's last for Cousin Nancy to laugh at.

I Give a great deal of love from Henry & me to each & all. The spirits seem to be making some new manifestations. I am,convincedy that it is all humbug. How strange is not that these very minds that reject Christ & his miracles & all the mysteries of the Bible because they are opposed to reason & the truth as we see it in other revelations of God's laws, should be deluded by this miserable piece of humbug. I believe this is all done by some human means. There's nothing more wonderful about this than the preformances of the necronancer. My Seneca women wish to know when they get their land. Ask Charley if we sent our list. I wrote mine out last fall if he has not got it I will make another I 4 Margaret Pryor, Wate2mlo0 Seline Birdsell, Waterloo Harriet Roberts, Seneca Falls rhe names of the other two I have forgotten but I will find out a send them again. will you mention these to Charley, or Cousin Gerrit whoever attends to this securing of bank billsyamongst the ranks of humandty or if the bid must be made out in a business manner I will add mine to Henry's. When you write to aunt Bell give ny love to her. When you come hither we will go up & see her. You must not postpone until grape season this year, it will be too late for you.* Good night your Cousin Lib Aadr.ss.a to Elizabeth Smith Miller Peterboro, Madison Co.,N.Y.

Alas! poor Green, you nere will see that good old pipe again. If however I can find those “whistles”, perhaps I can get another pipe at the "Mamouth.Variety Store“. yes to the plaid, do you wish common blue plaid like your nether’s check? Margaret has gone to Johnstown.& I did not hear the plaid conversation.y Green's indiah rubbers are not here. I will call at hrs. Dudley's & inquire about Charlie's legs, Green's cravat & shoes. Cousin Gerrit left his pdirections for Homeopathic diet. I shall not fail to send them for you know Lib he needs some restrain from the lips of infancy phe was once rebuked at my Father's table for his indulgence in pancakes. e*Did Cousin Nancy and sister Sarah carry all their property with»them?s What travelers. Your party, in your last excursion reminds ne“ a of a party of "jolly fellows". They were sent by their parents to see the country in which they lite, with.directions to observe closely the scenery, soil, productions, manners & customs of the people &c,* &c, But these fellows were so much absorbed with the society of each other, that when they returned to their parents after a long absence, they had nothing to tell of their travels & they had lost the chief part of their clothing, leaving a trunk here & bag there, here a tooth» brush there a pair of boots &c, &c. Well there is nothing like thisr elegent negligence no surer mark of “blood.” You are so eonstituted, I so all joking aside, dear Lib, your things shall be sent & if you will order all that your party left in Philadelphia, New York & at the various stopping places, to be sent here I will have one baggage oar ehartered to Wemsville for your gentility. Mag & I are considering a visit to‘ Peterboro to come off the last of this month. Henry sill be at Spring~ 4 field a few days the middle of this month as he cannot come up at that time I am going to spend a few days with him. As soon as I return I shall go to Johnstown.and thence to Peterboro. I wish you would get George Sand's last work Consuelo. It is a most beautiful production I I should like to have sister Sarahﬂs opinion of it. I enclose a bright tbird for Sarah. Take care that it does not fly away. It goes to the tunet oPS§ The Ethiopians!!! of “I love the free," & is a sweet song for the guitar. We are all well. Much love to each & all Good nights dYour Cousin Lib; Julius?

My shoes were blackened up by a white man.& my piazzas & woodhouse whitewashed by a black one. Saturday night found us in exquisite order but no Julius to admire. I "have no fear of man," so do not hesitate to bring Charles the I have no cook, one frail girl of fourteen is my only dependence. I can give Charles boiled eggs bread & butter & coffee &c, &c. He shall not go hungry. Do not let this keep you home a single day. You spoke of getting me a cook in Syracuse is there any hope in that direction? I want a good faithful girl “an old girl". A knitting factory has just been opened here that has swallowed up all the girls. Mr. Johnson has to take care of baby all the time & when he sleeps Work as fast as she can go. Henry is still in Buffalo. The last letters from Johnstown give as bad news of my Father. He is gradually declining & suffers a good deal. I wish Cousin Gerrit & Nancy could go done again. He has always loved your Father very much» My baby grows finely. Write often. What do you think of boarding where Aunt Belle new is? If she gives up her rooms the let of September suppose I take them.for the winter. Do you think I could stand the board 2! You know I an a great epicure. I am desperate sick of working & attending to the fleshly needs. Love to all Your Johnson I Addressyto Mrs. Miller (Elizabeth Smith Miller)

Y Johnstown March 17th (About 1841) Dear Lib I returned from Seneca last Monday & found your letter waiting I me. I am really distressed that Cousin Gerrit should be suffering so much amidst learned honoopathists without once applyting to them for relief. Strange that you who are so famous for new measures should be so obstinate on medical points. I do hope you & Cousin Nancy will use your influence to prevent Cousin Gerrit from.submitting to a scientific death by these allopathic quaoks. I have seen Wonders in Eomeopthay and Animal Magnetism at Seneca, enough to make me wonder that all our lggg§gg_ (though not wise) physicians do not at least examine into their principles. Near Seneca Falls there lives a man who has had the rheumatism for twenmy years & under the care of a “regular” physician all that time, for four months every year, he has laid upon his back unable to move either to the right or the left without suffering exquisite pain. so great has been his suffering that the joints of his fingers_& toes are all loosened from their sockets. This poor man heard of the angel homeopathy, & placed himself under the her guardian care. Now he is not only a convert to the doctrines of the great Hanneman, but a man in comfortable circumstances & has the prospect of at least living the remainder of his days with- out enduring the torments of the rack for half the time. Dr. Herring either has or will publish a work soon, about women & children. Will you inquire of Mrs. Bayard the next time you see (her) whether it can be obtained in Ehila. or New York. If so & if you should return before May do bring me a copy. I intend to commence life on Homeopathic principles. * How many of our friends are dropping off one by one & yet how unconcerned we live in the daily and hourly violation of all the laws of our nature both mental & physical. Have you heard of the death of ‘Augusta Trotter? She died last Saturday. We have not heard from any of the family, but saw her death announced in the papers. I would like to have some particulars dear Lizzie of Gertrude's death, if you can find time write me something of her last illness. I hope you endear Cousin Nancy will take great care of yourselves. Until I was at Tryphena's I saw Cousin Bill once & called to see her again after Cousin Betty returned. 1 QLetterincomp1ete7 (Te EH60-*6-"*"“’ S"“"n;” V " Part of a letter written to Elizabeth Smith in 1841 from.Johnstown, New York.

Last Monday norning Mr. & Mrs. Eaton and Gate left us for Newport. txnxny Today we received a letter saying that they like it very much.c They were making bathing dresses ~ and I presume ere this they have had a taste of old ocean. I have the supervision of the nurse and children. We all thought it better for Harriet to have the children here for their sake as well as her own.As her health is very delicate it is inportant that she should have as little care & trouble as possible. Tryphena is with us now. She came down about a week since. Baddy will return home with her and I think Bo will find sufficient pleasure with his Grandmana, Papa & nurse without the addition oft his Auntie Lee. Igan therefore determined toﬁhrow up my appointment over the nursery &¥depart for Peterboro the first of August. Miss Stewart wrote to me last week saying that she would accompany me at that time, with great pleasure but that company would prevent her from leaving sooner. She seens very desirous to visit Peterboro, but not more so than I am. You need not fear dear Lib that I shall be lonely. You do not know me if you think that I am happy only in gay company. A ride on horseback - a long walk with you er a race with Mag would give me more pleasure than a promenade tn Broadway or a party of all the fashionables of that great city.i This week Tryphena and I will probably go to Schenectady to commencement &* £ry will accompany me west as far as Canistota. I will let you know what day we will be there, and then you can see Tryphena if you wish and Mag can send home letters to Mag. I an very sorry to hearythat your Father's health is so delicate. We all regret it thatthe did not stop and see us when he went dewn. Give my love to your Father & Mother and Mag. I hear that Sid too is to spend August with you. We will have a happy time ~ but what will your Mother say to so many wild ones. There come Haddy and Bo and now for a regular romp with then.i as I shall see you as soon dear Lib I must say adieu for the present. I am sleepy and oppressed with the heat so prithee excuse this short dull 1etter.. I You shall hear soon again from A A Your cousin Lib PS~ All sendlove to our Peterboro friends. addressed to Miss Elizabeth Smith reterboro naa1son Co. N.Y.

And now that I desire to write and judging from your last letter to Cate that a line now and then from a friend would give you pleasure, now that you are enjoying the quiet of Peterboro ~ I think that the right time has arrived, and I commence, after this lengthy exposition, my epistle by saying that Gate and I are at home enjoying lthe solitude of Johnstown, and that a messenger of yours visited these parts about a fortnight since and by its quaintness ruffled our placid faces with something like a smile. It told us many things of you, not in themselves amnsing,but made so by the style of description. It said among other things that “you were more happy than when asleep than awake."- How can that be so? How can you judge of your happiness when asleep or eompare it with what you feel when consciousness returns. I have thought & thought for a reason why you should enjoy a greater amount of happiness in sleep than awake, and no good one can I find. However the natural inference to be drawn frmm such a declaration is that the fair one must be in a situation common to renantic girls of seventeen. Girls of that age often sleep and often still they dream of some friend - some lover ~ perchanee a Greek loveru a Cavasilus*~ this nakes sleep sweet - far better is it not dear Lissy that to sigh for his return by day? I learned from that messenger that your phylosphy had not yet enabled you to conbat that hydraheaded monstercalled Blues shosever I prophysy that his overthrow is at hand. *Have your weapoEE"iE+order and I too will make mine ready and when I visit Peterboro (whioh.wil1 be soon) by our united efforts, we will compel to depart from the breast of an unsophisticated country girl and seek companionship (in some more gloomy abode) with the heartless deceiyers, the gay coquette, the roue,the blazze, &c. iHin.who had so long tormented you. I look forward to a visit at your #1 father's house with a deal of pleasure. If Ioan getthere I will stay a months I reeeived the paper you sentne and I agree with the writer of that article or exercise. I ave something to say to Mag and I must say adieu although I have in truth.much.more to say to you. Cate will ansser‘your letter soon. William is here now.

I felt reliesea L to hear that you had received the guitar & liked it so well. I will give you all the instruction Ihave received when I visit Peterboro. AI play ﬁﬁylittle that is not well.

Alt is doubtful if Papéh goes as inportant business he thinks will compel him.to be at Plattsburgh aboatf the same time - so I shall be obliged in that case to make some other plan, but loam determined to make the long_thought of visit this summer.
