I have attended church all day, and I must tell you how much I have enjoyed the services of God's House. I trust that my worship this day has been acceptable to my Heavenly Father, and that His blessing may rest upon the lesson which I have this day received. I truly enjoy the Sabbath day, and love to engage in its religious services.

             Pardon me cousin, if I have wearied you by revealing so many of the sentiments of my heart, but it seems so good occasionally to bring forth the hearts treasures and present them to those, who are possessed of similar ones- don't you think so?
           You have spoken of my very pleasant home at Sunny Side, and expressed the hope that it "may never have the name of Shady Side". You are probably aware that at this present time, appearances are rather on the "Shady Side", but my heart still dwells in the"Sunny Side," although clouds seems to be gathering thickly around me. My hope and trust are strong in Him, who is my Help and Deliverer in time of trouble. I will leave all with Him; for I feel that He will order all things as He thinks best. These are the sincere feelings of the heart. If I must leave this home which is so dear to me, I will endeavor to bear the loss with calmness.
           You speak of the happy time you had with cousin Nora.
