[sideways text] Brother Woodruff
have just come to as sister is writing
to you and as she offers me a little space in her letter I cheerfully improve it by
saying to yo that I am rejoiced to hear of your prosperity in the cause of Christ and thank
you for your kind remembrance of me, and my family and hope we shall ever share
in your prayers. we are well at present—hope the Lord will continue to bless you
in your mission and hasten the time when you shall have filled your ^it^ in the love and fear
of God and be returned to your family in safety enjoying the approbation of heaven. We learned
by fathers letter that you think of returning in the spring Via &c so we think we
are sure of a visit from you as your family are with us spending the winter we are
pleased with their company—little is a fine boy we love him much—my children
want to keep him. My faith is the same as when you left I am suround with dark
ness on every hand—but hope the time will come that I and my family may be gathered
with the saints. Please remember me to all the saints around you and accept a large
share ^of love^ for yourselfe.
