You will recollect Miss Hanna owes you.  I have been told she will not pay her debts if she can avoid it.  I know not what more to say about our things nor do I know as you wish me to say anything about them.  I presume you will not think of getting a carriage which has not a cover to it. I am sure I could not ride in one at this season of the year one half day without getting sick. If you get a wagon with a calash[?] covering over the seat, or if you get a gig, I fear that in either case, our poor dear little daughter's head will be but poorly screened from the sun. If you can get a carriage with a seat sufficiently large enough[?] we shall all be nicely fixed. Br. Jonathan's waggon you know, is so made that an additional seat can be placed in front and the top projects forward far enough to cover the front seat. Such a one as his, would suit our convenience very well. The top is much larger than those usually on gigs. It also has a snug boot which is a great convenience in wet weather.
June 25  Have just received a letter from Br C. R. Merriam which contains the sad intelligence that Samuel Wait Powers is probably now no more. He was living on the 7 Inst. but it was thought he could not survive many hours. Poor dear Br. P! but God can and will support him and my dear mother also. She loves those motherless children as her own.  Ah, my dear husband, my heart till of late has never known sorrow. I thought when my dear father died that my cup of affliction was full. But God has since taught me, that trials more severe more agonizing to every feeling of my heart could and <u>must be felt</u> But I trust he has by his grace, enabled me to bow in submission to his will.
