Writes from "home." Announces her engagement to Samuel J. Thompson. Says she intended to tell Ogden during their last meeting, but did not get the chance, and Christmas preparations have kept her from responding sooner. Describes Thompson as "a very honest, plain dealing good hearted man, remarkable for nothing but his good disposition and kind heart." Says she will be visiting her uncle, John Mitchel, in about three or four weeks and hopes to see Ogden soon.
