Mrs. Mary Brooke, Eaton, Ohio, This office is 
not bothered much with letters from you.  All 
are well, and think and speak of you often.
 Could tell you something funny if you come and
 give me half a chance. All will send love, as well as, WB.

"We notice that the Court House is being painted.  It is time, as it is needed it very badly.  Let us make a little suggestion to our court officials:  The court yard is in a miserable condition; have it drained and filled up, or if we want a beautiful lake in the summer and an excellent skating rink in the winter, let it be walled up so that it will be of some use.  Don't spend money on the Court House and leave the yard in such conditions that we can't get into the house. - Carrollton Democrat, May 24, 1868
