The latter is in very poor health.
Sarah [Fobey?] was sick while Elisa-
beth was absent and one supper

I like the sage very much -
I received a letter from Sister
M. Wallace a few weeks since
she was much as usual says

that she would like to visit
them once more if she had the

she has kind friends there -
Joseph and the girls join me
in much love to Thee and
Thy sons and daughter -

I remain very affectionatly

Thy cousin H. F. P.
