My dear Sister & Brother
Yesterday I recd your
very kind letter of June 1st, and was glad
to hear from you after so long a time.
I dont know, really when I have had
a letter before from you, and I fear that
you do not get mine. I was glad to hear
that you are quite well. Mr. Woodruff
must have had a very severe attack
and his recovery seems quite Providential
You speak of my visiting you, it
would afford me great pleasure to do
so but when that time will come is
quite uncertain. presume your city has
increased very much since I was
there, I have quite a number of friends
there that I should like to see. Brother
Hardy, Smoot, Sister Coward &c. by the way
how is Mrs. Coward these days? please
give my regards to her and all of my
old friends and acquaintance with you.
