User-Contributed Transcription Antoinette Dunbarton HillNov. 4-11Jonesboro, Nov, 26. 1857Tuesday Eve, - 4th Nov,, 1857My dear friends, -Yours of Oct. 19, reached me to day and to night, as I recount the unnumbered blessings that surround me, my heart is full of gladness, and, I trust, of true gratitude, to the giver of every good and perfect gift. My dear parents, who have both been laid aside by disease, seem now to have regained their wonted health, and can engage as usual in their customary duties and labors, and your letter just arrived, brings the glad news of your own returning health and strength, so how can I but rejoice? Truly, God "is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all his works."I am very glad you are gaining the lost pounds, and hope you will not be disturbed by any return of the Ague. I presume you may be as well as usual during the winter months. But -- shall fear, if you stay longer than this that you will have some unwelcome visits. I judge thus from my own ex-marginI believe I will direct to Jonesboro, as I did my last letter, though I hardly know which is safest, or wh. direction would enduce the quickest arrival: Mt. Hawkins or Jonesboro.
