to see about a school there which is the work of Elder Whitman Folks are all well - our little Annie is living with Father & Mother & is their delight. Carrie is reading in the second reader & progressing very rapidly (at home) little David [Wilberforce?] [illegible] is taking his first lessons in philosophy & [illegible] & c Have you heard from John lately, we have not.
