My Dear Sister,

I hope that your health may continue to improve. The poor little Babe what can be the matter with it? I suppose that it is difficult to decide in so young a child, but let us hope for the better while we continue to be prepared for the worst.

Ellie's face has not yet entirely recovered; but I am of the opinion that time will effect a perfect restoration.

Remember me very kindly to Mr. A. and to all enquiring relatives and friends. Tell Thomas and the other children, that I love them, and that they must be good children. Ellie joins me in love to you all.

Your brother,

P.S. Tell Thomas that I am sorry that he is sick, and that I wish that I could do something for him. T.J.J.
