User-Contributed Transcription shall leave there. Probably just in season to get home next week. I do think I might feel somewhat troubled my "two young girls" were-it-not-for the "supernatural body" you tell about. In her skill and wisdom and abilities I have perfect confidence. I only fear that you will feel so much care, and try to to so much yourself, as to get sick. No matter if everything is not done. Let everything pass that can till I get home. How I want to see you all - and yet when I look at father & mother, I think O how much they do need a child to be with them. I sometimes feel almost as if father would never preach again, or a least not many times more. He cannot use his eyes five minutes without injury, and says he feels as if he should tumble to pieces for weakness.Ever so much love to you from your affectionate daughterNettie.
