had a stroke and I
cannot tell how he is at this time, but I can not do any work until I
hear from him, as I have had my mind on him for some time, as he was
somewhere in Massachusetts and I had not heard from him for some time.
The last time that I heard from him he was not well, and I knew that he
was so great for working that I feared he would break down.

So I wrote to Mrs. Wamsley, his daughter, and shall wait to hear how he
is, for I know she will let me know at once as she is there with her
father.

I have heard from her and he is better, thank God, and not dead, as so
many thought, for he does so much work that no one thought that he could
get over it.

And here on this 20th day of January I fell sick myself and have not
been able to take up my work until the 4th day of March, and once more
in the strength of the Lord I have taken up this work and hope to push
it as fast I can, and I hope to finish it in the near future if the Lord
wills. I hope that all who will may have the pleasure of knowing of
something of the joys and of the sorrows that have crowned this little
life of mine, but in and through it all I have seen the blessed hand of
Him who is wise.

March 4th, 1897.
