531 01105 Portage May 23d 1883 Dear John I hope this will find you and your family enjoying the blessing of good
health I have not enjoyed the pleasure of hearing much about your part of the world as I have seen very little of Sarah as
yet, but I expect to have a good visit with her bye bye, and hear all about her visit to you I thought she looked much better
when she came home, than when she left home I hope it may continue -
