User-Contributed Transcription when it became quiet so that we slept. There were several other buildings blown down, but no lives lost. One man had his arm broken only. I have heard of no one else being hurt. Most of the houses were deluged with rain, --The storm was, we hear, much more severe in other places about. Peoria, a city about 75 miles east of this is said to have been half destroyed and in a village near every house is down. Several lives are said to have been lost there, but we have not heard particulars. These stories, I hope, are exaggerated. You shall hear from us again soon, deo volente. It is now very pleasant and people are out viewing the storm's work. We are well. Anna is resting as she did not sleep well last night. Have you had any of the storm. Thank God that we are preserved - Jennie.
