says they all feel well that she has seen Sister Elizabeth
Ravenscroft makes it her home with Sister Kimball & is
well, Happy, & contented. She sends a great deal of love
to you & says tell Brother Smith that his trunk was
sent safe to his fathrs but has not seen them since
they got it all our things arivd safe. Sister Kimball
has got all the things which I sent to my wife
