low myself to feel under any obligations whatever to them.  I heard enough last summer of how Mrs Hedge told her mother, that she had done so much for me after I had come out here, and that after I was married, we used to come right there when we come to town, to eat, and then when I brought butter to sell, I must have the highest market price of her. Its all a falsehood from beginning to end!  If they consider they did a great deal for me, they must have very small souls, is all I have to say; and if I don't forget, I never sold her butter, but I remember of giving her some chickens.  So that I don't want to feel under any obligations to them; we can meet them on friendly terms. I did not form a very favorable of Charley Dewey, although he complimented me so highly; I think he lacks something of being a gentleman; I was introduced to him, and was talking to him busily about the 23d, when Louisa Bird introduced him to Miss Holland, (Major Houston sister-in-law), I had just asked him a question, which he never stopped to answer which I should not have noticed if he had asked me to excuse him; I just left him in disgust.  So I don't fancy he was facinated with my appearance.
