thing. The Ill. State con. of Universalists meets at Bloomington next June. Is that not far from half way between you & us & a little North of us both? If it is could we not meet there at that time? I don't know the situation of Peru in the State, nor of Bloomington exactly. I mention it in season so we may think of it. B. is on the Chicago and Alton R.R. N.E. of Springfield. If you can go there perhaps, Raymond, Lydia, and cousin Sophia may go. Who knows? Sophie visits Raymond about this time. Don't delay writing so long again. Jesse still has attacks of the ague. he told Myron the other day that he believed he could make as good a minister as half of them. He has intimated nothing of the kind to us. His mind is much perplexed to know what to do. If he was only a good pecunious underlined manager, he would make a good minister. I see nothing else in his way. I attach great importance to this one quality from a minister. As ever, George Weaver
