Dear Sister Mary and All,

    We received your letter on our return from Buxton, Monday.  I am glad Anna's health is improving.  Hope she will be strong enough to take her journey, and that it will do her good.  It is a long journey, and I hope it will not be too much for her.  If I know she would go to New Hampton next week, we would go and get there about the same time, but as it seems uncertain as you say, it may be that we shall wait till the first of the week after as we had arranged before. It will however make no difference with them, as Mother B. is there, and will

along the side I had a letter the other day from cousin Mary Lewis an a little while after Hattie had one from Ella. We shall answer them soon. Glad father and mother are well and all of you. Hope Anna's journey will set her right up. Hope you got about the haying. Good By. E.
