In part: 'Dearest Sister Harriett, you see I am at my old tricks - sending out printed letters - but I hope they are better than none. I can only add that I am getting stronger. Mrs. Hinton [?] was with us a few weeks but has gone north. I do hope dear Sister Mary is better. Sending off a few hundred of these printed circulers [sic] to acknowledge the unread letters of last spring; in my illness; I hope it will do. Don't mind answering this. Keep well, and rest, and we will meet some day. If it gets too hot here, I may have to flee north if I can. Send love to all.'
