are very bad just now, the rain is very annoying for I wished to go out a little. I am so much better it was very fortunate that yesterday was so fine. It was one of the hottest I have seen for a long time. I felt very much your not being with me but I trust dearest if spared by God we may before long have an opportunity of going together. I often feel uneasy love in case on account of your anxiety to be with me soon you should come in a vessel. Do not love on my account think of it and do not fatigue yourself love by hurrying in. I am in the hands of God and He will strengthen me when the hour of trial comes. I am in hopes however that nothing will detain you too long and do not be anxious for I am sure all danger is now past. I must now conclude for it must be Tuesday morning.
