up in her room told me to give her love to you, Jennie, when I write again. It seems as if she said something else but I do not know what. I took a foot-bath last night; the first one I have taken since I have been here! An important era in my history, don't you think so? It is about time now to take them, 7 1/2, and I guess I will leave you. Friday, June 18. -- I feel quite smart today. Julia has been reading to me this afternoon in a book entitled, Philip Randolph; an Indian story. It is very interesting; in some places painfully so, as it brings before the mind the dreadful suffering and trials of the early settlers. -- I changed my strain rather abruptly last evening when writing about the fine new patients. I was going to tell you who are. Mr. Whaley, who is a minister, and his wife, rather a young couple, are from Penn. I like Mrs. W. very much, the little I know of her. I have not become acquainted with him yet. Then there is a Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Wright and Jenny, or Jennie as we sometimes call her, Mrs. W's little daughter, quite an interesting child, about six years old; they are from Mich. Jennie has already become quite a little pet of mine. How glad I was to hear that you were so much better Mary; keep up good courage, sister, vacation is near; and then I hope you will have a good long time to recruit. Make Jennie take care of herself. I hope she will make herself sick by unclear exertions now? at the close of her school class? Good bye & be good girls -- Sarah. --
