Weyauwega Mar 10/65

 

My own loved Frank:

                                    This is a beautiful morning, though somewhat cold. I received your letter a few days since & should have answered y it before but I wrote one to you when Mr G— was here & sent it by him thinking he was going imediately to Memphis but he went as far as Oshkosh & then came back to W— again & stayed untill this morning when I found he was here again I regretted that I did not answer your letter as soon as it was received. I know you must feel anxious to hear from your friends north. I love to write to you just / as well as you love to hear from me & be assured I shall always write you, & be puctual.

 

How I wish you were here to attend some of our meetings we are having splendid times I think our minister is one of the best men that ever stood on the walls of Zion there has been a few conversions in W— though not as many as I would love to see. I wish to see all of my young associates happy in a Saviours love

 

I feel some what better than I did when I wrote you before I feel that God has answered my prayers in a great measure there is nothing more beautiful than to see young people standing up firmly for the blessed Jesus. may the kind Father help you & I to be faithful so that / we may be prepared to meet each other in a better world than this if not permitted to meet here again.

 

News are very scarce in W— but I presume I have written it so many times that ere this you are well aware of the fact & then you have been in W— enough to know yourself that it is exceedingly dull.

 

I heard last evening that Mrs. Cadwell had been having the dipheria though she is now about the house. how I wish the she would become a good christian, we could overlook all. poor woman she has an immense sight to contend with in her life & she has been influenced to a great extent /

 

Sarah is attending school at present. she seems to enjoy herself finely, learning to skate & so on. I would love to learn to skate, but I guess I will wait untill you return from the war & then you may have the pleasure or trouble of teaching me. We are all well at home ma excepted. she has not been well for some time. you say you are afraid I need an overseer I try to take pretty good of my health but I acknowledge I sometimes get a little careless. I heard yesterday that Heny Rockwell was in the army, surgeon, & doing well. well it makes no difference with me I love you better dear Frank than I ever did him & thank God that he He has given me you instead of such a fickle-minded person but I must not speak ill of him he was young. but I must close so good by dear Frank & may God Bless you is the prayer of your own                                                     Fannie
