My dear Harriette,My dear Harriette,
Thankyou very much for your bright little letter. I was delighted to re Thankyou very much for your bright little letter. I was delighted to receive it. As I could fancy it told me that you were feeling bright and well & that you had no headache. I hope you had a pleasant evening on Friday. Do be sure and go to bed early. I think you need plenty of fresh air and plenty of sleep. Mr. Davis's daughters are very nearly the same age as you and Fannie. They are very nice girls. Carrie who is just one week older than Fannie is studying art with her father, is also a very nice little housekeeper. On Saturday, her mother being sick in bed she went right into the kitchen and made pies and cake. She also ordered the meat from the Butcher. When he brought in the roast of beef she saw that he had charged for seven pounds. She weighed it and found that it only weighed six pounds. So she was afraid that he was not honest, and was trying to take an advantage of her, and asked why he did so? He replied that he had cut the bone out and trimmed it. So you see she learned something. They have a great big family cat here, named Tom, of whom they are all very fond. There is one peculiarity about Tom which is this, that he does not like to be lifted by the neck, (which I have always thought was the proper way to lift a cat) but prefers to be lifted by the tail. If I had not seen it done, I could not have believed it. When Tom is outside and wants to come into the house, he just springs up on the window sill , and immediately someone opens the door for him. I cannot say that he and I have become friends. I think he knows that I do not like cats, and yet I admire him, because he looks so fat and comfortable looking. The Park looks very lovely. I gave your regards to the ocean but could not get any other return from it than a great roar. So you can interpret that any way you like, either as a great hearty, "I thank you" or else, as a very rough, gruff, "I don't care." I must now stop fun and tell you that I am very sorry not to be with you on your birthday. I hope you will have a very happy day, and if it is God's will that you may be spared to have many more. But after all, it does not make so much matter if we live long, as if we live well. May God bless you and keep you always my darling and give you His Holy Spirit, that you may ever be growing into the likeness of His Son. Please kiss Papa and your sisters for me, with love to them, also to Grandma and your Uncle Andrew & Sister Anne, with kind remembrances to all friends not forgetting Mary. I am ever your loving mother,

IN REGARD TO REV. ABIJAH R. BAKER'S DISCOURSE ON THE SHIP-BUILDERS OF MEDFIN REGARD TO REV. ABIJAH R. BAKER'S DISCOURSE ON THE SHIP-BUILDERS OF MEDFORD, Excerpt from The Medford Historical Register, Vol. 1., 1898,pgs 76-78, published by the Medford Historical Society:
"It remains that I should speak of the results of the work perform "It remains that I should speak of the results of the work performed by the ship-builders of Medford. Rev. Abijah R. Baker, formerly pastor of the Second Congregational Church of Medford, delivered a discourse on this subject on Thanksgiving Day, 1846. The sermon was full of valuable information, and was published. Through the kindness of Mr. Dean, Librarian of the Massachusetts Historical and Genealogical Society and our repspected associate, I have been permitted to consult a copy of Mr. Baker's printed discourse which is contained in the library of the society. This document gives a complete register of all vessels built in Medford from 1803 to 1846, with the name of each ship, date of building, the yard in which it was built, builder, owner, and tonnage. This register was afterwards supplemented by Mr. Brooks, and brought up to 1854. The whole will be found in his history (pp. 336 to 380). Mr. Usher, in his edition of "Brooks' History," fails to complete the register down to the close of ship-building, 1873, and, for some inscrutable reason, Mr. Brooks' register does not appear in his book. Mr. Usher gives, however, some tables of statistics which are of interest in this connection. "

During his pastorate at Medford he published "The Catechism Tested by the Bible," graduated question-books on the "Westminster Shorter Catechism" for Sunday-school classes, of which 100,000 copies were sold the first year, and translations were made into French, Arabic, Armenian, and Hawaii. At Lynn he edited, with his wife's cooperation, "The Mother's Assistant" and "The Happy Home," two monthly magazines. He subsequently removed to Wellesley, Massachusetts, and then to South Boston. He published numerous Sunday-school books, edited an American edition of Cob-bin's "Child's Commentary," and prepared an elaborate "Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount," in connection with which he wrote a treatise on prayer and one on Christian character. A "Question-Book on the Sermon on the Mount" was issued in 1863.*His wife, Hariette Newell Woods, daughter of the Rev. Dr. Leonard Woods, president of Andover seminary, was born in 1815 in Andover. She published, under the pen-name of "Mrs. Madeline Leslie," in 1855, "The Courtesies of Wedded Life," followed by "Cora and the Doctor," printed anonymously, and has since issued nearly 200 moral and religious tales for Sunday-schools; some of them appeared under her own name or initials, some under that of "Aunt Hattie," but most of them under her pen-name. They include the " Home Life," "Silver Lake," "Golden Spring," "Leslie Stories," "Brookside," and "Tim" series, the latter containing the popular tale of "Tim, the Scissors-Grinder."
