User-Contributed Transcription Sarah, What to call you I do not know, if I say dear Sister, or precious, I am afraid you will think it is nothing but mockery and that I really do not regard you as such, or I would not have allowed you to be so long hungry without interceding in some way. But I hope that before I have reached the bottom of this little page I shall be able to convince you that my love to you is still pure and strong that I may call my Sarah by an endearing title without her thinking it very surprising -- Sarah, we miss you how much I shall not try to tell -- You know Sister, when we come into your room where you used to be what our feelings are You know the longing for dear absent ones which cannot be expressed or surpressed. You know too, how joyous the hopeful thought is, that when you next return to us, your presense will not only light one little corner, (which I know never failed to gather all around it) but then we will have you all through and around the house -- O, may our hearts never cease to send up grateful praise to Him who is this kind to us. Remember darling one and pray for it Cynthia
