Sat. Morning, Jan. 28 My dear Sister,

 Sarah has been a little better and brighter  since I wrote you yesterday  Though very weak. Dr. W  was here this morning, - he says  he does not think she has  changed much since he was  here before (Tuesday). - he says  she has wonderful vitality. -  has promised to see her again the  first of the week. She had another  hard time coughing and raising in  the night last night - but did not  vomit this time. We got the  air pillows all right - and  find them very nice and  comfortable. The expressage [ex/message?] was  paid- - did you pay it; or Mr. Askin?? We rec'd your second letter last  night. J. G? is going to Remsen after  dinner, and I write this, lest  you may fail to hear by today's mail.  R. V. L. and baby have gone to Utica today. R.. with the horses, and the rest  with Jane in the cars. I told the Dr.  about your indecision in Utica about  coming back - he said he was sorry  for you - J? and had hoped that you could have  staid longer. I think he does not blame you. Anna
