Enclosed you will find 400 which

I trust will help you till some time

next week My Laundress has been

making a raid upon me for

275 which I owe her for washing

it costs me 8c a piece to have

washing done & 25¢ for linen coats

   Mr Bell & family are

quite well - Dr Rennolds ditto

I am well and prospering

I read my Bible 3 times a

day & pray for you and myself

Every night - I quit Saturday

afternoons at 4 oclock - I wish

you was here - Are you perfectly

wiilling I should write to your folks

I should like them to forgive me

   I Expect I shall be drafted

if I am , more trouble just as I

am starting in life too!!!

    Well I trust in God & Jesus Christ

"His will (in everything never any more

mine) be done"

                 Yours very

                      affectionately
