User-Contributed Transcription weather seems less exhausting than it did last week. We thought of you all a good deal last evening, were thinking we would like to be with you to attend the prayer meeting at Lewis'. Mother, I really think I have reason to feel hopeful about the way my health is improving. The last attacks I had took away my strength sadly as usual but it seems decidedly returning again, and my nerves feel quite firm for me. We rather enjoyed the 4th in the city. I had dreaded the noise, and it was quite wearing, but less so than we had feared and the sky rockets which we saw from our seats on the balcony and for a while up on the roof, were beautiful. John Eddie is missed very much. Dear boy, I do want to see him again--Frank's likeness seems more of a treasure than ever. I try to visit with it once in a while. It looks very pleasant but doesn't talk much. Won't he write to us some time? Jennie and Anna deserve decided thanks for their letters. Tell Mary Jane I send an extra bunch of love to her in this. We would be very glad to get a note from her. Would like to be with you in church as our young friends are coming in. We attended Welsh church here last Sunday, were reminded of home, and of our precious father who so many times had spoken words of encouragement at Capel Ucha. Oh! how sweet it is to hope one may some time meet him rest of text continued along margins of previous page
