Home not as secluded as the one I had
Brother Mc A. told me about his visit
with you & your Mother I was glad
He had a chance to call. I would have
been glad to have been with him, I
got a letter from Brother Wells & Penrose
last night They said Asahel would
come home this fall if He did not go
on to the continent but I would
prefer to have him take a tour on the
continent, & stay untill spring or He
might never have another opportunity
to go there And as He has travelled on
so much of England & mingled with
so many people I would rather He
finish it out by visiting the old
world before He returns they said
He was well & feeling well & doing well
Brother Wells said He had made a good
record on his Mission his 2 last
letters to me was Dated Sept 3 & 8
I am rather inclined to think that
He will decide to go to the Continent
