I embrace a moment of leisure to inform you that Mr. H.
is a little better than when I last wrote. The improvement is
slight and very slow and we cannot tell whether it is permanent or
only temporary, but we are thankful for even a mitigation of his
sufferings. I cannot describe the extreme suffering he has endured
from difficulty of breathing and pain in various parts of the
body. Every one, even the Physicians, consider his restoration thus
far as almost a miracle. Our trust is still in Him who does all
things well, and if he sees best for us, he can and will raise
him up again. His mind is kept in peace being firmly stayed on
the Lord. His constant desire and prayer is for entire resignation
to the will of our heavenly Father. Pray for us, that the means
employed may be rendered still more efficient, that he may be
restored to health once more.
E. R. is well and sends her love. She is very attentive
to her Papa and makes herself useful. The rest of us are in usual
health. Our love to all. Write soon and often.
