Dear Sister:
Dear Sister:
Not a word have we heard from you since last Thursday: What can be the matter? Did you write too encouraging a letter in reference to your health? Are you not as well as you were then? Or are you waiting till you can astonish us with the startling fact that you are well? Thus might we make suppositions without number as to the reason, but could not tell when we had the right reason. Write dear Sarah and relieve us from this suspence. Mother told you that Aunt Sarah was here very sick and quite deranged. She still continues very long. When she first came here she was restless and could hardly be kept in the house but wanted to walk in the lots all the time. That was Friday, Saturday she walked backward and forwards in the shade of the house, all morning and staid a great part of the afternoon in the office. Sunday she walked all day, and by night was hardly able to put one foot before the other. Monday she could not leave her bed and seemed in great trouble. she was much the same Tuesday. We sat up with her that night she was quite still and slept some towards morning, she awoke in great distress, she seemed be trying to get out the cellar where she supposed she was. I was not with her then, but Mary says she never
