| Transcript | Southfield June 3d - 92 My dear Annie I was pleased to get your Letter as I always am and should have written sooner but I have been quite sick and am still very feeble but improving but your letter was quite a puzzle to me I thought and guessed and conjectured until I was tired I than[then?] concluded that you would not take any important step without seeking divine aid. I regret very much that you did not come over here instead of going to Orchard lake but should you have another opportunity I hope you will so I had a letter from Ruth a few days since she asked where you were as she had not heard from you in a long time she said none of them wrote to her now not even Dave She said William had gone to Utah but did not write to them Lorena she said was married but she did not know where she was. dont you think it is a sad thing for them to live so forgetfull [forgetful?] of one another - have you heard of your sister lately and how is she did you hear from your mother recently and how is her health I feel very sorry for Mrs Kelly it seems that it is her lot to be worked to death I think it would be much nicer for them to be on their own place but like some other people they know there[their?] own buisness[business?] best - how is that Lady that was keeping her bed when you wrote I am afraid she would not stay there long enough to satisfy you girls Birmingham seems quite void of news just now there has not been any Deaths for some time neither have there been any marriages Edith Hamlin and Mr Bookham walk round some and it is generally thought that a match will be the result her folks think him very nice but they say he had such a bad wife - Alice said they had a picture for me at their house but she has not sent it yet I want to see it very much for I think it must be one of yourself [?] so allow me to thank you. You said in your letter it was perhaps the last time you should be in that little Church I cant take it in I cant think it will be so but where ever you are I pray God will be your guide and guard that he will be with at all times your stay your hope and your trust I am ashamed of this writing but my hand trembles so from weakness I must not forget to tell you that Mrs Young (Eva Means) is at her Fathers. she has been very ill and her Husband is in consumption poor thing her marriage has brought her nothing but trouble such as I hope you will never experience for my desire is that your joys may be as deep as the Ocean and your sorrows as light as its foam. We have not been to White lake yet we will have to feel better before we go I hope to have more news to send you in my next will you try and write soon from A Jackson with loving regards |
