"106" Basement Nov. [?] Dearest Jennie; This letter of Nettie's came Saturday evening and I thought I would send it on with a note. When it came to hand, I thought from the postmark that it was from Sarah, and you may imagine how quickly I tore it open, when to my great disappointment I found that it was from one with whom I was not even acquainted; I did indeed read it through, hoping to find something about our sister. Dear Sarah, she seems still to be improving. I hope she may soon be well. You will probably see Nettie, will you not? They have indeed been deeply afflicted and my heart sympathizes with them. You know that on the morning that you started, the Angel of Death seemed to hover over us about to take a sister from our midst. She still lingered with us all ready and waiting almost impatiently for "Jesus to come, and take her home," until last night about three minutes before twelves when as we trust went home to glory.
