Dear Brother

Your Letter
of the 6 is just Received which I Read
with interest. I was vary sorry to
hear of Williams Accident I hope
it will not End in any Lasting injury
to him but it is a serious thing
Give him my Love & tell him I hope
He will soon get well and that He will
not follow my Example any further
as far as Broaken bones are concerned My
Health is good at present as is most
of my family Clara has got better
able to be about the House Julia
is around again about as usual
Bell Moses has got better so all my sick

are better the Election is going on to
day some scratching. I Expect when you
Read the Governor speech before the
Liberals you will think He is about
to Join the Church but He has not
Been baptized yet No man a
month ago could have Dreamed
there would Ever have been such a
split in [the] Ring as Now But Will read
all the music in the News. Our
Law Suit is becoming quite salty
they seem Determined to get all the
Church property they can. Emma
Alice and all Join me in Love to
you Sister Atkin and all the family
Nellie Emmas oldest has a Daughter
which makes the first Grand Daughter
to her. Susans oldest daughter Eugenia
has a son which makes me a Great Great
Grandfather Daugh Father. I pray God to
bless you all and heal up William

As Ever Your L Allen
