| 11her agony, her despair, at seeing
her favorite child, her Son-in-law
and beloved grand-children, in
danger or perhaps suffering!
Since Monday I say I have
been in this dreadful suspense,
many times a day going into
the telegraph office to seek for
information & yet fearing almost
to get it— after breakfast this morning
the boy of the office came to my
room and handed me the reply
whe with trembling hand and heart
almost ceasing to beat I opened it!
Thank God! 'Your Sister & family
were saved' struck my glance!
I have yet fearful doubts of the
affairs at home— nothing was said
of your dear husband— but I cannot
think that he was injured, I will
not till I learn more— but the
distress of dear Mother & you all
still makes me far from happy. | 11her agony, her despair, at seeing
