To RHM from Mary Milory March 13th 1862

              Rensselaer, Ind. March 13th 1862 
 
My dear Robert, 
 
 
 
	We are all well.  
 
 
 
This is Court Week. Judge  
test gave quite an amusing lecture last  
evening in the Court House, it was a burlesque  
on “Public Lectures”.  
 
 
 
I commenced writing  
this afternoon, but was interrupted several  
times by different persons coming in, so I  
gave up the effort, and concluded as I had  
broken out the fifth tooth today, I would call  
and see the dentist who came to town a  
few days ago, since his name is Burt, a partner  
of Dr. A.M. Moore of Lafayette, as I do not  
fancy the trip to Indianapolis to have them  
fixed and cannot leave home very well.  
 
 
 
I  
think I had better embrace the opportunity of  
having a new set made by Burt. I intend  
going tomorrow to have him take the impression  
for a set on rubber for which he will  
charge 40 dollars. Theodore left yesterday for Delphi.
