Dear Sister Mary,

   Mr. butler and Elizabeth have been writing home and I will add a few words hastily as Mr. B. is going to the P.O. in a few minutes.  I have not been very well this week so you must excuse me if you have been longer without a letter than usual.  My teeth and head still trouble me some but not as much as when I wrote last.  William is about the same, he was pretty well for him when I was sick but he breathes harder today.  He has lost five pounds since we came here.  Yesterday he went out

(along side & top) we came - [Lauie C. ]It seems most likely was that we will not stay much longer unless something new turns up. Mr. B. is just about starting so good bye all with love from us hath Sarah. The Cer. has not come yet. Please ask Lewis if it was sent.
