hear something from you it has now been
nearly four months since I have heard one word from you so long &
anxiously have looked for a letter from you

that I am now writing to the dead. I truly
hope & pray that the sad thought is in
correct you know not my dear friend what
anxiety of mind I have experienced since you have been so long silent. I have
had all sort of imaginations but can come to no conclusion. I earnestly hope now
to hear from you & have all fully explained or if I have lost my dear
friend Kate & this letter is read by her dear parrents any surviving friend that they will speedily favour me with a letter that would bear to me sad sad

our earliest correspondence felt to me like a sister the Christian like

child of God. That it has drawn out my fondest attachments for you are such. I
will not write much more. if you are yet alive (& God grant you may be)
please answer at the earliest
opportunity with a continuation of my imperfect prayers for your preservation I
