Written from Exeter, New Hampshire. Thanks Grace for a long letter, sends love from Susie by making a particular mark on the paper and adding "(I wonder if that is the way love looks?)." She chides Grace for writing her full name out when addressing her envelopes, and describes a Union meeting held in Exeter with flags "bearing the names of Lincoln and Johnson" and a bonfire. There she had met with Fred De Merit and his sister, apparently some mutual acquaintances, and comments that De Merit had stared at her all evening, declaring him impertinent for having done so. She discusses various other young men, including "George W." and Ambrose Swasey. She writes of attending prayer meetings regularly and mentions recent robberies in the area.
