dated April 22nd, which was duly answered but from what you say [+?] [begin superscript writing] I should judge [end superscript writing] he has not received it I must write again of my old friend may go back on me. I will probably write to him this afternoon. Your letter also informed me that I had been made a life member of the Young Mens Christian Association. This is, as you say, abundant evidence that I am remembered by my friends in the church and Sabbath school as well as your own family I shall probably write to [Fr?] Patterson in the course of a couple of weeks if I do not receive a letter from [begin superscript writing] him [end superscript writing] before then I received fathers letter of June 4th last Monday and as I had written to him and mother but the day before I did not answer it. I also received the 3 Journals which father sent me. Inclosed you will find my gold pen, which was accidentally broken (one of the points is broken off) it has been very servicable to me and I shall miss it much. You had better give it to Jas [Shirra?], or as he may not have time, father can get it repointed for me, the cost of repointing is 50¢ I believe Please get it repointed as well as possible and return it soon in a letter carefully directed, With much love to all I remain your brother John C.
