Johns poems were selling very well and he. was busy answering letters from his publishers and friends. He became worried, however, about his sister Elizabeth. She was suffering with a pain in her back, the result of a fall on the sharp rocks at the Isle of Shoals a year ago. Dr. Bowditch had not considered it serious at that time but lately painful attacks had developed and a spinal iiijury was discovered. When these attacks came, Elizabeth was forced to remain in bed, and when the pain subsided she would get up and bustle about as usual. However, she looked pale and seemed very listless. When John spoke to her about it, she answered him that it was nothing but the effects of the last attack, and that she was all right. One day a letter came from Mary Abigail saying she would like to consult John about a biography she was planning to write of Gamiel Bailey, editor of the Washington Era. John consulted with Elizabeth, Does thou think that Abigail would be too much for thee Oh, no, John, please write her to come, she is so entertaining. John smiled, She is indeed that. And so he wrote her to come as soon as she liked. When she arrived, the September woods were beautiful with late wild flowers and the air was fragrant with the smoky haze of Indian Summer.

A vague impression prevailed that it did not now occupy its original position, but that it had been disturbed at some distant but unknown period. On questioning the individuals who entertained this impression as to their reasons, it was stated that within the recollection of some of the inhabitants, fragments of stone, similar both in quality and in cutting to the portion now seen above ground, lay strewed at its base. The inference was that the stone was fractured near its base when taken up, and that the fragments seen were originally a portion of it. An impression likewise prevailed that the stone originally planted at the point of intersection of the due north line with the arc of the circle of twelve miles radius, corresponding at this day with the true point of junction of the three States of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, was also missing. These were points that could only be settled by an accurate survey of the portion of the boundary involved in doubt or uncertainty, and then comparing the result with what ought to exist in conformity with the minute details contained in the recorded proceedings of the old commissioners and of their surveyors. This course was suggested to your board, and met your approbation. On consultation with the board, and by its approbation, I immediately called to my assistance Lt.
