We came here the 5th of last month on only a week's notice!
Your letter directed to Peterboro was forwarded by my Father & reached me that
evening. thank you kindly--I will give Mrs Gregg [?] the desired information.
My dear Mother had been at the [? name illegible, Clifton] Springs Water Cure for a long time & has had one or two very severe illnesses there. I am now most happy to tell you that she seems decidedly better & is to leave there this week for a fortnight's absence. My Father is very well, & is expecting to be in Chicago the first of September at the Temperance Convention.
I can easily imagine the trouble you have with those " ?????????" German heads---
But you are brave & earnest----& will not "give up" I'm sure.
God bless you! Good night
Affectionately E. L. Miller
