well again since I wrote my last
Ellie has been very sick she took a
high fever with vomiting this lasted
two days lissie had the same I bathed
them and used every means now

a hard cough Emma and Martha

a few days they will be all right
again I am well myself except a
bad cold and very tired I think

I have just heard this evening that
4 of your company are missing since
the battle of the last of March I
cannot describe my feelings when I
heard this but my trust is in god
who is able to take care of you and
bring you safe back I expect a letter
from you tommorow I hope I may
