that are awaiting an answer.

line 19
and his safe arrival.

I hope that Levi is well ere this?
Has Clara and gone to the Muddy. Ma said that she did not expect me home with HebQ, but as there has been so much work to do it is fortunat that I did not stay. But the temptation was very great and at one time I almost yielded but for once in my life denied my self a pleasure. I shall never forget my pleasant visit with you and hope that you will soon come and see us. Have you a school yet? I am quite anxioufc about a situation and hope the winter will not see one without work.
