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 and labors for worldly good centre on her. One thing that every wife loves oh. knows she possesses, that it, the heart of her husband. Her intellectual, spiritual, & temporal welfare is ever on my mind. I want to see her improving, rising, & 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 not heard from Raymond. Br. C.P. West is here. His school opens fairly; 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 & happy. Achsah is in school. All send love. We will write & ? Love to Jose. Geo.
