Jim himself thinks it wont do him any good tell me when will I see your faces again I hope you are both tyring to be good boys and keep out of such company as much as you can as would be apt to lead you out of the narrow path and following the meek and lowly Savior through good and through evil report Remember me at the throne on grace and I hope God will keep you and all of us by his grace from falling till this short life is at an end and then we shall [all have?] each others company forever in heaven From your loving sister Margaret
