Dear Mother I think you may rest easy about Isaac so far as expects danger from temptations from wicked men, he is in that state of mind now that is in no danger of being led away by outward temptations, I feel anxious about but mingled with great hope, his interest has not abated, he expressed to me (though I know but little of his feelings - that he was resolved to seek religion at all events and not let it go,-this was a week ago. he went to inquiry meeting last night - I hope I cannot but think that there is a good work begin in him - the lead man is pious, Isaac said he had talked with him some, on religion he evidently is not ashamed or backward to have his feelings known; & if Isaac Eliab and especially C. could now be brought in what a happy family we should be, what blessing could we have in comparison with it: it seems to me there would be no hope of C. if he should now refuse the offers of money & that we might have the prayer of faith given in, that which is prompted by the spirit of God and will certainly be answered, but we must pray in submission as well as faith.

Bonnet like this one worn for handsome bonnets by genteel people, and the ribbon is almost as wide as any wear now, and is the prettiest I ever saw for 12 half, 2 quarter yards to trim it, just gather three quarter yard of it, into a frill behind, and put the rest plain over the bonnet. The purple calico is a better piece than mine and cost, 1 half. The dark, shoes - $1.00 calico $1.00 do $1.33 bonnet $1.00 ribbon .28
