getting along with the lectures now? are you able to attend pretty regularly? How much longer will they continue? You have told us nothing lately of Dr. Silienthall - I have a great deal of confidence in him and I should really like to consult him myself - but I do not suppose I can very soon. I use that unclear bag now and then and I feel the air to my ears very quickly - it often makes my head ache if I use it many times. - I feel sure that my hearing does not get worse - I believe I told you that we are making arrangements to repair the office this summer - John D has taken the job - expect to commence the first of June. Eliza is with us yet but it is doubtful whether she will stay for the summer. We had a paper from Mrs. D. Griffith, Iowa City, last night giving account of the death of Wm (Elias) Williams - he was drowned in crossing a creek - the horse which he rode went down carrying him it seemed under the horse - there was a boat neat and if he had once risen to the surface he might probably have been saved. Mother is writing to you and I'll not attempt to do more than close with much love from all - Your sister Jennie Everett.
