Elisabeth expresses her fervent desire to have her brother return from Europe and recounts how lonesome she felt when she bid him farewell in 1826. Tells him that she now has the leisure to read magazines, journals, and novels (The Fair Maid of Perth by Walter Scott). Also feels that the society of ladies has never been better though none are very literary. James Woodruff has asked for her opinion about female seminaries in New Haven and Hartford, for niece Ann will soon be enrolled in one of them. Mentions the establishment of a Temperance Society and says that "we practice total abstinence except when we feel sure indulgence will be beneficial and these cases have been of rare occurence." Exceptionally cold weather has delayed the arrival of Spring and the Hudson is frozen as far as Poughkeepsie.
