Dear Sister
It is with much pleasure
I take my pen this morning to answer
your kind letter it is verry warm this morning
full warm enough for comfort I persume you wish
to know how my health is now I can tell you that
it is improving for I have had annother attacked
of the intermittant fever I was not confined to my
bed onely six or seven days I had the best of care
in the hospital and it pleased god to rais me the
second time from a bed of sickness I feel truly that
the great Being who counts the number of the stars
numbers all my woes and pains and sorrows What
multiplied proofs He was given in the past that
He careth for me I may well confide to him the unknown
morrow for God is good God is strong God is mindefull
What a blessed threefold link in the chain of divine
comfort! It is in the day of trouble He delights more
especially to manifest His goodness. As an earthly father
loves his child most in its hour of sickness and pain
so with my Father in heaven he knows my
soul in adversities. Prayr has lost none of its efficacy
When other help and hope is gon when the enemy
is coming in like a flood how comforting to
