Laxfield
Monday
My dear George
Father received your letter on Friday morning. I also received the
stamps and thank you very much for them.
Mr. Kyle preached a missionary sermon in Laxfield Church last
evening which was a very nice one. I am going to school next
Monday week, you must write to me when I get there. Cousin Anna
Maria is coming to teach the other children and help Mama with the
sewing etc. Uncle Roe is gone and left Aunt without money,
without food and without clothes. Uncle Charles and Harry say he
is got no further than Liverpool, turning over 2 hundred coombs of
wheat, he will never reach America. Aunt have been very ill so that
Rosa was forced to go home from Aunt's. Mama, Nunn, Emma and
myself went to Aunt's last Monday and came home on Tuesday. The
great tea party was last Wednesday, Anna, Kate and I went. Addy
Bloomfield sends her kindest love. Now dear George, I have no more
to say so I must say goodbye. All join with me in love,
Believe me
Your affectionate sister
Ellen Chandler
