Cy was up to town Monday and came up to see me, he is troubled with rheumatism in his right shoulder so that he can not work, and came up to see Dr Whitman; Cy is improving in looks and actions very much; he is getting quite hansome, I think and appears so well in company, is not a bit awkward as you would expect in a boy raised in the country as he has been, I do wish that he could be going to school all the time now, for I want him to have a good education if he gets nothing else, for I you know I always thought he would make a smart man, and I think so much of him lately he is so much more agreeable than he used to be, I am going out to Fathers after Dr. Hull gets home, I intend to go to my school next week.  Mr. Robinson says "for a marvel they like you our in our district" it seems that they have been very hard to please; and I don't wonder they were not pleased with some of my predecessors, for from the way the children seems to have been taught shows at least that they were not graduates (over on the other side)
