Danville Saturday noon

My dear Wife and children,

 I am here safe and comfortable at Mr Wm Cook's, brother to the Rev. J. B. Cook.  The journey was not so unpleasant as I feared ti might be. I left Utica at 2 on the afternoon of Thursday, got to Syracuse against 4, took supper at Mr. Charles's, did not see him.  They were both quite well.  I had obtained their address from Mrs. Roland Williams' family of Utica. Left Syracuse at 7 A.M. and got to Binghampton against 11.  Stopped in the Depot there till 2 1/2 next morng and got to Elmyra against 5, left at 8 a.m. yesterday and got to Danville about 4 in the afternoon considerably worn out, on account of the loss of sleep the evening before.  I feel happy and thankful that I have come, am received very kindly by my beloved bretheren.  There are several Ministers here whom I had not seen before.  We have good meeting thus far. Rev. S. A. Williams (the brethren say)   preached a good and sweet sermon on Thursday eveng. A stranger from the old country and Rev. J. E. Jones of St. Clair (an excellent man) last eveng, and G. G. of New York and your Pa this morng.  There seems to be a good feeling in the church and we hope this meeting will be crown'd? with a blessing.  It's near time to go to the afternoon meeting and I shall put this in unclear mail on my way, must close.  I feel quite refreshed this morng after a good night's rest.  A brother of Mr. Wms Carbondale with his wife stay at the same house as I am, members of Minervsville church.  Love to you all.

Your Pa,

 R. Everett

Hope to get a letter from home, probably this afternoon.
