Dear Spooner:

I believe the Hall River train is due in Boston between 6 & 7 AM, & the ferry train in Lowell leaves at 7:45. I have another _____ letter to ____ ____ of this. But he may not get any of them, if he has not gone to Lowell, so soon as you may properly be able to communicate with him. Please call on Mrs. Hildreth, therefore, & tell her about it; for I think it is not entirely ____ may yet be thereabouts, since I have ___ learned the ___ not go to Lowell at this time  I expected she would, & have a fancy she may have been off on a ___ ___ when with others ildbeth

                             In hast, but heartily, yours,
