a long letter last week giving you a full account all that happened since you left us. I am thankful to tell you that yr dear little boy is getting on as well as you could wish. You will see him very much grown when you come home and we all think him looking a great deal stronger and more healthy looking [crossed out] since he came to the station so I hope that his stay here will be no loss to him but on the contrary much to his advantage. I attend to his lessons as best I can and in every other way.
