Dear John: I am very glad I have the chance to write to you. I have always been ashamed when I think of the letter I wrote
to you the first time. I was in a great hurry and had nothing to say hardly, so I just said anything that I first thought
of. But I will try and do better this time. Anna and myself have been busy washing all day, and I don't think that I will
have time to finish it. Father is getting ready to go to a meeting at Mr. Arnot's house. Father goes to a meeting every other
Sunday at a schoolhouse beyond Belfountain, and he goes through the week sometimes to a prayer meeting there too. And there
is a prayer meeting in Mr. Smith's house every week. There is a prayer meeting every Sunday night at Gray's schoolhouse. There
is no Sunday School there now and we have to go with Father now. I have got a little book called Dew Drops. I bought it
this morning from a colporteur. I guess this will be enough, so goodbye. Write soon as you can. From Mary Muir. (Hand).
