Dear Hattie,
Your letter of the 1st inst
reached me a few hours since, and I
lay aside other pressing duties to answer
it without delay. It gives me such plea
sure to hear from my relatives as well as
to see them. Your Father spent an hour or
two with us last Saturday. I was rejoiced
to see him in such apparent good health,
and to find that with God's help, he has
been enabled, like myself, to bear up under
the painful [dispensations?] [His?] wisdom has
called him to endure. I trust the same
[resignation?] has been [?] your
dear Mother, your sisters, and yourself.
As regards the subject of your letter, I
am sorry I cannot write more favor
ably. We are not keeping house alone.
