Lucy talked with Mother about Phebe, she
gave me a letter to take to her & wished
me to call, & see her as soon as I get home

ning conversing with & &

Mother says if we follow the good spirit of the
Blessed Jesus we will do well. The two Scam-

church here. we had prayers together, spoke
abot sicknes on the road several years
since her recovery &c I took my light & went
to bed, fearing I should not see . But
Just as I was about to Blow the light out I herd
