Dear Friend Sarah I cannot have a quiet conscience unless I immediately write to my dear friend Sarah. Nothing but interruptions of various kinds has detered me until this hour. It is not because I have forgotten you my friend no no time nor distance can never erase my friends from my memory. when I tell you what has been going on and all the work.."in our line." What we have done for the past two months I think you will measurably pardon my long silence. I am in very good health to night feeling much better than I did last night. Sarah I received your letter dated January 14th some time since and a more welcome missive never came to me since I left home. Letters from my friends are better to me
