My sisters join me in sending kinds regards--As you have lost the companionship of an only sister we feel a special interest in your wellfare and promise prayers and earnest sympathy in the efforts you are making to rise above tempations that would hold you downward. My dear friend, do not make these efforts in your own strength. Christ is willing to give you special strength, if you will only look up to receive it. It is indeed wonderful how much lighter a task becomes when we seek our Savior's help. ? perform it. and let me beg of you to seek it. ? yes, to seek it constantly And do not soon give up. Once failing, need not mean ever failing. Believe this and "try, try again." I know of one who has been afflicted much as you have, but who last New Years day decided that he really, certainly, surely, would never, never take the first step towards another attack, and the All merciful One has enabled him to keep his resolution, Now, what another has done why may not you? I believe you will. I send my love to your mother. Cannot you bring her up to see us some time! You would be very welcome whenever if you could come?, and so we ask your father and little brother too Ever your true friend Cynthia H. Everett
