User-Contributed Transcription and anxiety for all of you. I am sad to think of you Mother, with your cold from Percie's is keeping you uncovered, & then so tired and without sleep all night. I hope you all went to bed after we came away - particularly Mother and Albina. Percie had no trouble with his diarrhea on the way down, and so little now, that unless it increases, I shall not think best to check it. I feel nicely to think we are likely to get along without a doctor. We will see to the things and try to send them up the fist of the week - I got a letter from Samuel on the way home - the driver had it in his hat & thought best not to keep me waiting! Ellen & Lizzie were pretty glad to see us - If jars cannot be obtained there, had I better send any. Please ask Almeda if she would like a butter jar sent?
