You see our boy has got so large that he can write some
to his father before he ever see him.
I have received a letter from
mother Luce on the Island her family are well—one brother Hyde &
brother John Herrett went there and laboured a while they were both sick
and brother Herrett died I think last Oct. at brother Crocket's house
I will not write much as I hope to see you soon. Please give my
respects to those of the brethren who may come with you, likewise to brother Ilus and wife and accept a large share yourself
