30th Septr 1864 Glenorchy My dear Donald I am thankful to tell you that Kate is now beginning to come round again. I got very much afraid of her but I think she will be all right in a few days and able to go about again. Poor thing she thought she was going herself but God has ordered it otherwise which is a great blessing to me for if she went I would be very miserable in this world altho I am among my own near and dear relations still it would be a sad loss for me as she is a very good and prudent
