heart, for the thought will come in my mind, perhaps they are sick or something so is the matter, and I feel so anxious I almost forget what I am writing about. Oh my dear sisters, I can hardly contain myself I want to see you so badly, but I must wait, I must be patient. A few more months and, I trust, we will be together once more. Oh, would that we might hope never again to be sepperated; but, alas: that cannot be in this world of parting; but let us even pray that after a few short years of meeting and parting here below, we may all meet in heaven never, never to part again. Dr. has just been in again bringing a little note which he requested me to inclose to you; it will speak for itself. Remember you must mind the doctor. O, Jenny, I wish you could have looked in upon us the other evening. I guess you would have blushed a little, at least, I do not think you would have looked quite as sober as your likeness did, if you had only been in the same position yourself. There it stood leaning back against the tumbler, in all the dignity of the original and Dr. sitting right before it examining it at his lesure, rather an embaressing situation, was it not? He said he wished he had Mary's too that he might compare them. I hope I shall have it before long, as Robert has got it, and has promised to give it to me. Now Jenny dear, do write me a good long letter, won't you. I believe a letter from you would do me more good then a weeks treatment; so you see it will not be lost. I must close as I have something to say to Mary, and I am some tired now. So good bye. Your aff. sister.
