User-Contributed Transcription annotation 1848 /annotationDear "Ma" �� Tuesday eveng �� John is going to start tomorrow morning for New Graffenberg, and I am going to start early with Mr George to Rome - must go about 5 to be in Rome against 10. We have 3 strangers tonight - Mr George - Mr Goodhue - and the Dentist - Mary is busy making beds for them. We often feel as if we wanted mother back again - and feel thankful that there is that hope before long. - We had a meeting of the friends of the Tract cause today at Capel Cerig Remsen - and succeeded in forming a Tract Society for Remsen, Steuben and vicinity - the different denominations will unite in making the collections by going two and two from house to house, the same as in the bibl cause. The officers are R. E. President, M. Roberts Vice President, A. E. Jones Treasurer, J. S. Williams, Secretary - The next annual meeting to be the 2nd Wed of May 1849 at the Baptist Meeting House in Remsen - Collections to be made next August - We hope now that something effectual will be done for this good cause. I have been to see Mrs (J. W.) Roberts today - she is better than I feared she was - looks about as you saw her, - They live in their new house. Our shed frame is to be raised this week on Thursday, I think. Benjamin Thomas and wife joined our church last Saturday. Also Catherine Prichard by letter. The subscriptions for Library have been paid up nearly all. After communion last Sabbath, the friends came forward to the table and paid up. I hope to see you next week unless you conclude to come home with John this week. Must conclude with love to you both. From your affectionate "Pa" R. Everett
