User-Contributed Transcription benefit him more than any thing else so on his account we feel anxious to get away - But it will be a trial to go leaving mother so feeble - Father is gaining fast now and will doubtless soon regain accustomed health - But I feel very anxious about mother - Now and then a day I feel encouraged and the next disheartened again.
