User-Contributed Transcription Smith Hotel Saturday, Nov 25Dear Sarah, Tis evening now'already has the clock chimed the hour of eight. The lonely hours of the day have passed and soon I hope to forget my bereavement in sleep. Yesterday was much of it passed in Miss Burnett's company and the rest in the Dr's ' which gave the most pleasure you must judge, Miss B. left this morning. Houghton did not accompany her to the depot'nor did he see her to say good by before she left. She looked for him after we got to the depot and appeared quite disappointed in not seeing him, I advised hertill this morning's mail brought Mary's letter with the little note from Tommy Oh sister, words may not tell how thankful I am that God so kindly preserved you. How little do we feel of our dependence upon our heavenly Father! Not till that terrible feeling that all was lost came over me, did I with any degree of earnestness pray that we would keep my darling sister and oh, then I felt how too late might be the prayer. Pray that I may live nearer to Him and in every thing seek His guidance and protection. I do hope you will write tomorrow and tell every particular of your journey etc.
