My dear Brother & Sister
It is a long
time since I have heard from you
I recd. a Paper not long since
containing notice of the death
of Olive. I hope she is better off
than where in this sin stricken
world. A few years more, if time
continues will make many changes
with us. Many of us are getting
along to and living on borrowed
time. The signes of the times are
impressive. Mens hearts failing
them. May our trust be in God
Business, The world and everything
earthly is demoralised, "How long,
Oh Lord, how long"
