Letter from Ilus Fabyan Carter, 28 April 1853
Portland
My dear Sister & Bro,
Your very kind letter
via Sacremento was recd we were very glad
to hear from you and that you were all
pretty well. I am still in Portland as
you will perceive, but entirely unset-
tled, am in the store at present, but
how long I shall remain is quite uncer-
tain. this is a world of perplexities and
afflictions but how thankful we should
feel that it is as well with us as it is
Were my old affairs settled, which
I hope may be accomplished some time
I could then act independently, which
I very much desire.
We are all quite well in this vicin-
ity. Father is smart for a man of his
age, he is evidently failing in body and
intellect. Freedom and family are at
Scarboro, at the old place, when do
you think you will visit it again?
it would afford us great pleasure to see
