| Transcript | Birmingham Feb 23, 1892 Dear Anna:- I have been a long time as usual in answering your most welcome letter. I was so thankfull [thankful?] that you escaped all injury at the fire and hope by this time you have recovered from all effects [stained] [------?] P, and P visited after noon and had a very pleasant time and then Jennie staid [stayed?] with me all night and of course P enjoyed that, Mr C's folks are well except cold which seem to trouble nearly every one now, We were talking about you and all thought it would be just lovely if you would come down and spend the summer with Mrs Jackson it will be hard work but it will be a change for you and I think be good for you. You aught [ought?] to have a rest from there. We would also like to have you with us again Oh how I wish you would but I dont dare to hope so, I dont know whether you know Eva Render of Southfield or not [she?] lived about a mile and a half from Mr Jacksons she was buried to day. It is not quite a year since [she?] was married. Our Young People's Society has bought some new singing books for the church they are the "Gospel Hymns No 6" and then we have quite a little money in the Treasury yet so you see we are doing a little some thing. Our S. School [Sunday school?] is growing we had seventy nine last Sunday they are mostly children we have seven classes now. How I wish you were here again. i suppose you know Mrs Will Millar had a little girl they brought it to church for the first time last Sunday and it was just as good as could be. I should like to attend the Sunday School Institute in Pontiac but do not know as I shall be able to do so. Emily Adams is home and her father thinks she is as well as she ever was. I hope she is she seems so young to be insane. I don't suppose Mrs Willits gets any better does she? I see by the paper that she was down home not long ago, Mrs Aldrich has been real miserable again for a long time what a time she does have doesnt she? She is a little better at present. I will close for the night hoping this will find you well as it leaves me. Please excuse pencil and write soon I remain your True friend Edith |
