EDITOR "MUTUAL AID JOURNAL."
Lebanon, Pa., _____, 188
Lebanon valley college last June a year ago and then went one year to Boston University. He thinks of going west next spring. Lizzie is quite a girl and goes to school and learns very fast. She and Horace are both very good children, I still preach some. Will preach tomorrow in the Evangelical Association English Church in this place at 10 A. M. and next saturday I go to Mount Joy Lancaster county to hold a quarterly meeting.
Mollie wishes you [illegible] to remember her to your father and mother, and so do I, and to your wife and that baby. O, how we would all like to see you. Please write again, and don't you say next time that I did not answer your letter. Tell John that I never would have thought that he would dare to live a batchelor so long. I think he is mighty slow. Give our love to him and Jannie also.
Yours very truly,
I. L. Kephart.
P. S. Of course, an old soldier like you will not think of voting for any one else but Gen. Garfield. I will vote for him because he is the very one, above all others that the rebels and [confederates?] do not want me to vote for. The bigot stands now about as it did in 1861 to 1864.
