Sat. Morning, Jan. 28 My dear Sister,

 Sarah has been a little better & brighter since I wrote you yesterday though very weak. Dr. ?Wins?  was here this morning, - he says  he does not think she has  changed much since he was  here before (Tuesday). - he says  she has wonderful vitality. -  has promised to see her again the  first of the week. She had another hard time coughing & raising in the night - last night - but did not vomit this time. We got the air pillows all right - and  find them very nice and  comfortable. The expressage was  paid - did you pay it; or Mr. ?Askins? We rec'd your second letter last  night. J. E. is going to Remsen after dinner, and I write this, lest you may fail to hear by today's mail.  R. V. L. and baby have gone to Utica today. R.. with the horses, and the rest with Jane in the cars. I told the Dr.  about your indecision in Utica about coming back - he said he was sorry  for you - J and I had hoped that you could have staid longer. I think he does not blame you.
Anna
