1 841/10/3/3/2 Thursday Dear Katty Oh how hard it is to write when
ones heart is sore. God holy will be done
Oh Katty what a thunderbolt when we thought
our darling was safe he was too good for
this mean world & is gone to a happier home
well prepared to meet his ? ? but left
sad hearts in this miserable world my
darling had no secrets from me even to
the last. I will treasure them during my
life. Well Katty I am delighted you have
left the outside world. If you ever come
home if, God, spares my life I will go to see you
your nice letters were very consoling.
Katty excuse me I can't write any more
my heart is too full.
God Bless ? ? you is the
? of your ever loving friend
Ellen ? letter
