prayed for you and felt so bad to have you sick. So you had
a visit from [yoar?] old [Phebe?] I know you get tired of her

be provided for you to have a new one of some sort What will

day it [fong's? bang's?] every thing and we had a short shower
to day, now be all the comfort you can to [Cora?] and be carefull
of my Ma love from all Emily
