We have not thought for a long time that she could possibly live through this spring to hear of her exit any day would not surprise us at all, she is so verry weak.

It is hard for sister as he is a great care and her health is not good at all but she says she has the assurance that she shall be sustained in body & mind to take care of him to the end.; for she says her guardians have never deceived or failed to sustain her in every trial & she trusts them fully. It is such a sweet comfort to know
