User-Contributed Transcription Osawatomie 9th mo 2th 1864Friend Everett,Thy letter of 22nd came to hand yesterday. After reading it all anxiety for the restoration of Sarah to good health and her home and friends was at end. The thread of life which our hope had rested on, had snaped and all was gone, sorowfull as this may be to thee, and to Sarahs Friends and old acqaintances, there is no help for it. to it all must be resigned, We hope that however ireparable great thy loss has born that thee will be able to stand the shock. Frankie seems cherfull and resigned he has been at home nearly all time time lately, Snow? has been at home for some days and Frankie has been staying with him. the weather has been so dry and by that the grass so poor that I advised Frankie to let the Old mares run on the Hungarian, the watter gave out in the well so that the calves had to be turned out with the cows, and the horses taken to the creek for watter, there is some little place in the ravine back of the lot that the sheep get watter
