Akron Jan 27 / 74

Dear Sister Abby, Both your letters came to hand in dire time and should have been answered soon er but I have been unusually busy for me this Winter for several weeks and Abby has been spending her vacation of two weeks with us. I am greatly tried at the way things at your farm have resulted to you. I have heard of a number of persons in Akron since coming here who have farms a few miles out in the country that are greatly troubled with their tenants; they prove to be dishonest and thriftless. I should think from what I hear that this is the char-

out of them. Let us hear from you soon again and of your plans. Affectly Sister Sarah
