Thurlow,Father has intercepted both of the letters that I tried to write to you the last two days and now he says that this must be my last communication with you. When you sent the nine ladies dancing, we tried our best to keep them hidden away, but our hired hand saw them and told his friends. The next day we had 40 people here to see 'the show' which was made all the more insane by your gift of ten lords-a-leaping. Today we were greeted at our own front door by eleven pipers piping and right behind them was the mayor with an eviction notice that had been signed by every person in our neighborhood. The children in the area think that we have a circus in town. My father will not stand for any more and he is doing his best fight the eviction. Thurlow, if you do love me, send me one more gift tomorrow that will convince everyone once and for all that you really are my true love!
