I was truly glad to hear from you once more I have thought of you often since I seen you last I would like very much much if you could come and make us a good long viset this spring. as for my coming down to see you I am afraid that I will not be able. the men are so behind with thare work they have corn to gather and all the spring work to do besides but I will come as soon as I can you wanted to know if I went to meeting any these long sundays I have had the blesed privilige of going to meeting often this winter O Mollie you just / ought to have been to some of our meetings perticularly the cooperation meeting when Brother Goode was thare we had such a good meeting Brother Kane has been to Woodbourn this winter and Brothers Craig and Headington thare has been meeting at Dorchester twice a month this winter that is only two miles from hear, the second and fourth Sundays. I will tell you so if you come you will no what day to come to be at meeting Brother Keller of Litchfield preaches evry fourth sunday thare is no perticular one preaches the second.
