 a line to you to let you know that I am well and hope that you are the same.  Miles, how is the church a getting along now and is the Sabbath cool now?  Miles, do you go up to Weeling’s now and how goes with you now that I am gone?  Write about them and you must pray for me and I will try to do the same.  Direct
