alone. I think she would know you. She can speak several words quite distinctly. I hope and pray that her life, which has

she may make herself useful to others. Surely we know not what a day may bring forth, and how little do we realize it. We
are getting along about as we were when you were here . Ezra does the chores about the house. Our family 3 is not as large
as it was. Cate is gone, and in her place I have a Sarah. Miss Merrill is talking of going soon. John, we have wished you
were here many a time since you left. How have you got along at your new business. You must write and let us hear all about
your success. You are very kindly remembered by all, and enquired after. Now you must remember your promise to write me occasionally
as long as you live. We shall ever be happy to hear of your prosperity we have one common interest in securing an interest
in that Savior
