put it in her ear but twice. The Friend says it
must be used every night for 6 weeks. I hope C. will
have faith ^to try it, it must not be washed out of the ear
in the morning. I just asked the girl who is deaf if she
thought it had helped her any what little time she had
used it & she said it had a great deal. A great deal
depends on a persons having faith, Tell C to be faithful.

I have now been mistress in the school & house
for three weeks, & no small trial has it been yest [&?]the
hope to have some assistance from E. this week. I believe
I have done all & as well as I knew how, very nearly.

2d day P.M. Another day has passed & I fear if I
were to tell you the ^feeling of this frail heart during the
day, they would cast a gloom over your mind &
not [?] dispel mine. Eunice has been in school this
afternoon & the scholars have kicked up their pret-
tiest I can assure you., but I hope I will not judge
from this that they have done so during her
absence, for they have not, but I must must try to
keep New Rochelle affairs at home. Do write
and say all the good things you can think
of, so as to comfort this distressed heart, but
I expect in an hour [or?] two I shall feel as
[cheery?] as ever. Heard from Phebe this morning she
is well. Think I shall write to her this week as it is
Quarterly meeting week at Purchase & friends frome this place
attend ther. From your unworthy---Susan B.

But still I wish to hear from you often. My dreams
wander home nearly every night. Last night
I had a very unpleasant one with respect to l[?]sings
concerns about home of which I have frequently
thought during the day. But they say you must take
dreams just opposite, so I will try to think all is well.

They are waiting to take this to the office.

So no more of this stuff.
