are about Sarah. I am so anxious to see her happy, that anything that causes her anxiety troubles me. I cannot be happy unless she is. Ten thousand links of more than steel binds me to her. Her feelings ? mine. If she smiles I am in delight. If her countenance glooms my soul is all dark. Every day deepens my feelings. I live for her. All my thoughts & labors for worldly good centre in her. One thing that every wife loves she knows she possesses, that is, the heart of her husband. Her intellectual, spiritual, & temporal welfare is ever on my mind. I want to see her improving, rising, a rejoicing. Then if we live & do well we can rejoice in our inward possessions. Our prospects are fair. We have got into a new church; our people are full of joy & hope; our congregations are increasing. We hope to do much good. My health is good. I work hard. We have just heard from Reaymand. Br. C. P. West is here. His school opens ?; about 80 scholars. He has been very sick, but is better now. Jesse likes his school; has the ague a little. Let us hear from you often. We are well & Achsah is in school. All send love. We will write & [[?], Love to Jose. - Geo.
