Monday Evening Dear Sisters

 I think it is true that your letters awakened something more than echoes. They have been sounding a response in my heart - ever since we first began to receive them. but - the three essentials to making up a letter time opportunity and inclination never seem to come all at once. To-day instead of washing, Thomas, Jennie and I have been up to Ninety-six, blackberrying. Owen Griffith's Robert Sewehes'? Lewis' folks and Bill Hugh Evens and two of Davies' little boys went with us. We had a pleasant time and brought from 20 to 25 quarts.

in margins Will and rejoicing in having had a letter from you - he is a good brother and you must not neglect him Jane and Jane Hughes were neither of them feeling very fit to go berrying today and they tried to take things easy - I hope it will not make them sick again I believe I wrote to you that they were both quite poorly last week. Mr. Phillip left us again this morning to go to the Plainfield meeting - he hardly expected to be home again this week perhaps not till the Cymanfa comes to Remsen. - Our Lodge last week voted to send Mr. Mitchel as delegate to the Grand Lodge and to pay his expenses - Cynthia expects to go to Camp Meeting next Wednesday - I do not know about the rest of us.
