Dec. 2-3
Lizzie Dee, Nicky [Lewis] and my darling Emily come up to spend Saturday and Sunday. What a treat it is to me to be with her again. We have much to talk about and my heart feels considerably lighter after seeing her. A long letter from brother Peter. He tells me of the death of cousin Peter Carr on the 18th of Nov. Dear cousin Peter, to think I shall no more see your kind face and hear your cheerful voice again. Oh, how heart rending to see so many of our friends snatched away by Death's hand but-it is the Lord's will and therefore must be right. He has told us, "What I do, thou knowest not now but thou shalt know hereafter." Brother Peter tells me of the desolation of his home. Says he, cousin Laurie and Little Lewis (his wife and his child) will now seek a new home far far distant. Their plans are not yet settled.
