Dear Brother Nathan, I must pen you a few words this Sabbath evening before laying me down to rest - How much! Oh! how much I wish I could see you! It would do me and you too so much more good than simply writing; yet writing to dear ones is a blessed privilege when we have no nearer and better means of communion. I would come to see you in a moment had I the means now at command but our all is in the rebellious state of Missouri. Perhaps in the course of the Winter or Spring I may be able to do so, may see some way by which I can do it. I hope this letter will find you much improved in health. How long and how earnestly your

family. The children all say "tell Uncle Nathan they "love him and wish him to be well and come and see them when he gets well." This is Clara's reply to the question had they any word for uncle Nathan? and the others immediately endorsed it. May the All wise Father be with you and your family and bless you all and restore you to health. Affect Sister Sarah.
