Format Correspondence

User-Contributed Transcription thought and feeling to render my life happy in the smallest degree. Mrs. Eaton is a dear good woman in many respects but in some she is not such a companion as would be a help and support to me when I would receive instructions of an elevated caracter not but what she is a woman of good and noble feeling but she has not the power of imparting such knowledge to those around. I have been looking a long time for a letter from Sarah- why does she not write? give her my love and try and persuade her to write soon, a good long letter from her would do me so much good. Mrs. E often expresses a desire to hear from her. You know I wish to improve in my correspondence, so if you observe any errors it will be your duty to remind me of them as a brother anything that you suggest as an improvement will be received with gratitude by me. I will try and be more promt in writing for the future. I have so much to attend to the week that I cannot write. Last Sabbath I was intending to write but had no paper so you will forgive me for waiting so long, won't you? Br & Sister Eaton send many good wishes.Write me soon won't you Nathan and coax Sarah to too from thy friend and sister Betty C.B.
