Granby Feb 8th 1872 Dear brother and sister: To Rhonda/Chandler I was going to write right off after our donation visit, but I have'nt had a bit of time till now. Well, first, we had a real nice time at our donation. The house was full, or seemed to be. I opened the doors from cellar to attic and let them have full sweep - They brought refreshments in abundance, and of all kinds. They set tables the whole length of our dining-room and they were re-set, that is, there were so many to eat, that they filled the places round the table 4 times and half enough to fill it again. I should think about 25 could sit at once. Well, they sung written down left side of page We have them once in about two weeks, generally on Sabbath evening sometimes on a weekday evening - I enjoy them ever and ever so much We talk, and read, and sing and pray - The ladies are now making ready for a Fair to come off the 21st of February they are going to have some very nice prizes to be drawn - a China tea sett, Silver ware Furniture and other valuable prizes, and the usual things to guess on, I'll do up a handbill and send you when they are out - The ladies are busy making two unclear bed-quilts and things for the Fish pond -
