Sparta July 8, 1854

Being prevented from finishing my letter, I will transmit you another. It, however, must be short for it is now after 3 o'clock P.M. and I want to go to Mother's to night. I will, however, speak of such things as I think to be important. You are anxious to know whether we shall go to the falls or no. I am willing to go if I can get permission of my superiors. I suppose the party will return the same day to Spencer. If so, we may come to Mother's on friday.

I think I can get permission. You ask at what time I shall come up? I cannot go till tuesday. The time of the day, you may propose if you please. I suppose I had better come and put up at Mr. Wood's to keep down suspicion. As to other particulars I will leave to you to direct when you shall have learned the order of the examination. I hope you will write at length soon. Excuse

Your devoted 

W. J. Hill
