The presents you sent have at last come all right Many many thanks for your great kindness. Mr. Frye and the girl opened the parcels As Written: parcils and did not notice that they were for different ones until it was too late to tell which was which. Do you remember about them? It will not matter for we can call them all Mothers. She often speaks of you and so lovingly. I have not mentioned to her anything As Written: any thing of the Chicago trials as I thought she better not be mixed up in it. Then I thought you loyal true ones would surely conquer by Love. Dear sister please do not have anything As Written: any thing to do with Mrs. Woodbury. Cut off her thought entirely from you– but do not mention this. You may have had severe trials in belief, but God is all and he will guide and protect you. Accept much love from Mother and us all.
