Dear Sis E.

We have been looking for a letter from you for a week
and better. Mr. H. is still confined to his bed where he has been
since the 11th of Jan. The Abscess was lanced 4 weeks yesterday
and has been discharging ever since more or less. Pa says it is
immensely large and will take a long time to heal. We have given
up all idea that he will be able to attend the session of Conference
which begins the 1st of March. I do not think (judging from
the past) he will be able to sit up by that time, but we hope for
the best, and are trying to submit to the will of our heavenly
Father, who knows what is best for us and will not afflict us
more than we are able to bear. E. R. and I have had bad colds,
but are better of them. Pa is much better. The rest of the family
are well. Was Aunt McCabe buried in the place where our dear
little Cassie was laid, by the side of Rossy, or where? This is a
very wintry day. The snow is falling thick and fast. Our love to
all. Write soon.

yr aff Sis
E. P. Hamilton
P. S. Mr. H. desires Bro. Smith to send him a copy of Mr. Orr's
deed of trust.
(Mrs. M. G. Hamilton to Mrs. D. G. Smith)
