Remember me to Sister Eunice if she is at home (if not) when you write to write to her. I do not know whether she is
at home or in Colebrook tell me next time you write to me. I am constantly busy now almost night and day some
of the time I am up all night, most of the time till midnight. I am visiting, writing, teaching, Preaching, Baptizing, &c.
I stand in need of much strength in the outer as well as innerman, give me your Prayers Adieu, W W
