Dear Edward, 

Mother just received your letter this morning, we were very glad to hear from you why what a busy boy you are getting to be, how will it be next winter! well it is very nice to have a good deal to do and I am glad you are getting on so nicely- Here we absolutely don't accomplish any thing, have cousins for dinner, go out to dinner & last night went to the theatre to hear an opera, which was very fine one act only, beforehand a comedy, awful, contained nothing but lectures & love was the subject, in the first act we almost fell asleep, and the heat was awful-------

We drove to NeuenKirchen the other day & to see the garden again broke one's heart eine tolle Wildniss, und nichts weiter - some of the trees have disappeared, the paths all covered with grass, to get to the hill was almost an impossibility & when there, no view

Transcription Notes:
looks like a sentence in German: eine tolle Wildniss, und nichts weiter = a great wilderness, and nothing more
