There was no choice of Representative in this District last Monday and we have another trial in three weeks the vote stood as follows: Dem 181, Whig 121, Liberty 91 which is a gain of one third in the Liberty vote at the next trial there will be over one hundred. How does it stand with you in Bradford?
Mother Dean has broken up keeping house and is boarding with us. I think that you can guess the WPm & [?] was married two weeks ago tomorrow Sunday to Miss Betsy Stubbs of this town as also Mr. John Turner and Miss Sarah Doune and have gone to Boston to live.

I remain yours,
Cyrus Adams
