Granby Feb 8th 1872 My poor sorrowing sister: The words from your sad sorrowful heart, came to me to-day - and made my heart ache for you, as it has, ever since Mr. Kendall - oh I can't bear to say - died. I have'nt written because, as you did'nt write, I supposed as you said you was so full of sorrow, and your one thought of his absence, that you would scarcely care to hear. And indeed I thought it might make you feel your loss more, for me to write about home affairs, as it would written down left side of page The ladies are now preparing for a fair the 21st February - The girls study at home and recite to me - They are attending a singing school this winter - Little Mary knows all her letters. Mr Osgood has just returned a union Prayer meeting Orthodox, Methodists and Universalists only think of it - I should have gone but it was the night of the girls singing school Mr Osgood and the girls all send love, and sympathy to you and the boys good night - your affectionate sister Mary write again soon -
