User-Contributed Transcription Home, Jan 13, 1850Dear girls, I have at length got home! You perhaps remember how many times I made my plans to come but without success. We came the first pleasant day after Tuesday. It was indeed pleasant when - there I have got a pen at last - we started but it began to rain soon after we had passed the big-hill, I think, and continued raining the rest of the way. The road was not very good or very bad. We reached here between two and three o'clock without turning over once, for we had a good driver. Mary did not take any more cold, but rather left part of what she had on the way. Mother makes her take some bark before every meal. She seemed quite lonely last evening, but is more cheerful this morning. Sarah is much better than when I saw her before. She had a blister on her back Saturday night. It raised very well and is coming on nicely, she says she will have another tomorrow night. She is in hopes that they will help her back. Sarah says she wants that letter that you promised her when you were home. Why does it delay? Is uncle Sam unfaithful? Or does the fault rest on someone else? Mother is going to H. Patent today. She is going to try, with Mr. Morris Roberts, to collect something towards paying for Bethania church. He will be at the Welsh church in York Mills next Wednesday evening. I write now so that you can go there to see him if you wish. How did you get along with your lessons
