Dear ones all;

Have you not wondered how Cynthia could do neglect to answer the dear good letters you have sent her? It is a marvel truly. And it remains so, and please do not account for it by setting her down as ungrateful or unfillial. The last letter I received from home was from Mother, I think, and I assure you it was very welcome. Yesterday I received one from Sarah, with a line from Jennie, stating that Sarah had left her, and that she had kept her letter until she had heard that she had reached home comfortably. We want to hear again. Sarah evidently

many times though too often with battering faith, but our merciful Father, I trust, has heard me. I have thought many times of David Price. He was so serious last winter. Does he now seem inclined to seek Jesus? Did J.S. Griffiths unite with the church? I hope we may hear from you soon. Good night all. Your affectionate Cynthia
