My dear Lucy

            I received and read, with pleasure, your letter I was surprised to see Mr. Hatch, though I was glad to see him. He is a good man. I wish there many such here. you will excuse me for taking a half sheet for when I begin to write I begin to tremble so it is almost impossible for me to write half a page at a time decently.
I do not know much more about Mr. S. preaching here. It is expected he will bit cannot be decided till the Missionary meeting which I believe is the first week of June. The Bible Class is interesting yet it has not been my lot to be there but once. there were at least nine & I believe more there then. Ellen had commenced her school so she will not be with us any more at present, but Oliver Furber has come home & is going to join it. I hope there will be some good done. It is thought that there is considerable feeling among the people here and oh may it result in a great revival. My side warns me that it is time for me to stop writing for this time. I wrote thus far Sat. yesterday. I went to the mill to a society meeting. Mr. Boyd had been expected but his Father (at Berwick) was sick & sent for him, he write to Mr. H. that he should be here soon as he returned. We had an interesting B. class, but for thou - Your brother C. is talking of going to B. soon and I should like he have another letter from you. Give my love to Ann, tell her I should be happy to receive a letter from her by him. I have not heard C. Ann say anything of her own feelings particularly, I think she feels and perhaps is decided but cannot say. Now my dear will you wish me every opportunity and I will write some in return. I have as many sisters there to wrote to that you must excuse my letters are short.
                                                                                                                                 Very affec. Elisabeth H.H.
