there - but were told afterwards that it was
your sister instead of you -

We shall be at Lyons for some days yet &
should be glad to hear from you there - and to
know whether you really are ever coming west -
whether you are fixed at Amherst & etc. -

I have always been in expectation of seeing
your brothers or one of them at any rate but have
never been so fortunate - Perhaps they come
to Milwaukee without calling on me - If they
do - do you write & teach them better behaviour
- I really feel quite grateful to Mr. Brigham as
but for him I should have lost all track
of you - I don't know whether Mr. & Mrs.
VanVranken are still living at Geneva or
in fact whether they are living still - And
my little friend Mary has probably grown
to be a great girl that I should not know if
I were to see her -

Now do write to me either at Lyons or
Milwaukee and give an account of yourself
and believe me ever

     Most Respectfully & Truly Your Friend
          John P. McGregor
