He  is  really  an  absolute  lamb, 
But  when  he  sat  down  in  the  jam. 
On  taking  his  seat 
At  our  Sunday  school  treat 
He  all  heard  our  Vicar  say,  ’’Stand  up  please  while  I  say  grace!” 
He  have  been  vary  well  till  the  last  twenty-four  hours,  but  now  Mrs*Foster 
is  slightly  indisposed  and  is  keeping  her  bed  for  a  few  iiii  hours*  She  will 
be  able  to  sit  up  tomorrow  byt  not  well  enough  to  go  to  church  and  hear  my 
perfectly  good  sermon  on  the  conversion  of  St*Paul*  She  saw  her  Chicago 
doctor,  Dr* James  Murray  Washburns,  a  Harvard  alumnus  and  a  fine  diagnostician, 
who  has  had  charge  of  her  for  nearly  two  years,  and  he  found  her  condition 
much  improved  over  that  of  some  months  ago*  He  told  her  that  housework  had 
made  her  stronger*  But  she  is  to  avoid  getting  over-tired*  Neglect  of  that 
proviso  is  probably  responsible  for  her  present  upset* 
She  joins  me  in  best  remembrances  to  Miss  Brown  and  yourself*
