My Dearest Jennie, your kind letter arrived in due season and I hasten to reply. Yes our dear good kind and gentle brother is no more one of us here but has gone where we hope we may go sooner or later go to meet him. Even more I do not dare allow myself to realize that he no more will come to us - his going away was when heated. Apparently is permanent! Can it be he now will return! But a kinda rather know his when to take him we must bow our heads and must try to know thy will he done! Any Edwin lift home for Pothole Penn where his tour him hear since last night. I left for ahead and gone for season. We all met in church
