Yours of the 10th came safe to hand containing a draft for
$44.39 and a statement of fence Bill etc. We hereby return thanks
for the same.
I called at Mr. Kirks and he says he will take the knives
back, if not injured, with pleasure. He seems disposed to be very
accomodating, and says he will sell you spoons or any thing in his
line on as satisfactory terms as you can get them any where, and
would be pleased to supply you according to order, subject to being
returned if not suitable.
I also looked at Divans at several of the furniture stores
and find the price to be from 30 to 40 dollars a pair, such as you
describe. Some how they seem to be high in comparison with other
articles of furniture. Mr. Kirk says he will send you the price of
the articles, but you can judge better by those you purchased.
We feel thankful to our Heavenly Father for the continued
blessing of health and happiness. The Dr. is improving since you
were here, and we hope he will soon be recovered and be able to get
about soon. I preached yesterday morning for Dr. Heiner (German
Reformed) and my employment at present seems to be, to preach once
on Sabbath, and meet classes during the week, and if we could live
without money I would like my employment much, but you know a
little occasionally is very needful. Don't you think you and Bro.
Rodgers could employ me at a clever salery, like Bro. Guest is employed
in Alex.a, as a Leesburg missionary?
And to be a little more serious. Give our love to Ellen
and the family, to Bro. R. and his, to the Misses Binns and all our
friends and believe me
