this very dear place and
that smart pretty church
I cannot bear now to look
it. I really am so fond of
it, it makes me miserable
to think we should ever not
call it our own. Did you
sell OConnell Plains I suppose
all will be settled before you
return. Do you not think you
could manage for twelve
months longer and then

perhaps if the station turned out well you
might not want anything from your people
I will be as anxious in every possible way
I can and do [indecipherable] as little as I can
If you leave this I fear you will find some
difficulty in getting another [indecipherable] and
then you will perhaps lose 2 [indecipherable]
which you might have for life. do not be too [hasty?]
