Mr. Rodgers was to see Mr. H. this morning early, and
we were disappointed in not receiving a letter from you by him as
it has been some time since you wrote. It would be very gratifying
to Mr. H. to hear from Mr. Smith at least once a week during his
tedious confinement. He is still unable to set up and at times
suffers a good deal of pain. The Abscess continues to discharge
freely. Pa says it is very extensive and will take a long time to
heal up. It is a very great privation to him not to be able to
attend the Conference which commences this morning, and mingle with
the Preachers as he has been accustomed to do, and which to him
was always a sorce of great pleasure.
I suppose as Spring comes on you are anxiously looking forward
to the time when you will leave Leesburg for the South. When
do you expect to move. I am glad to hear that Leesburg has done
her part so nobly, and come out in finances. You deserve a great
deal of credit. E. R. is well and sends a great deal of love. We
have all had bad colds, but are getting better. Pa is again confined
to his bed but we hope only for a day or two. Write soon.
Our love to all.
