Dear Sister Ellen
We have not heard from any of you for a good while. I
met Mr. Wilder on the street today, and he told me you were all
well, and that Bro Smith had been away from Town. I suppose that
is the reason why he has not written lately.
E. R. sends you her likeness by this first opportunity
she has had. She also joins us in sending her love. We have
just returned from H. de Grace after a three weeks visit to that
place. E. R. says you will receive her likeness as a Christmas
gift. Dr. Davis is in bed with the rheumatism. The rest of us
are well as usual. We still hope to see you and Bro. Smith in
Balt. before you leave Leesburg for Albemarle.
Most aff. yr Bro.
M. G. Hamilton
