The presbytiry meets here day after tomorrow and if nothing prevents I expect to be installed in my pastoral relation to this people - We had communion on the 1st Sab. of this year - We had an increase of Eight by Examination and three by certificate - Had good weather but awful roads - We have larger audiences every Sabbath - We are getting the Seats in our church - It is nicely plastered - We have had letters from a number of the folks of Harrison - I got one last week from Mr. Crow - It made me feel good all over, he Just tells every thing as if you were with him. I laughed heartily at Brother Pressley's refusing to have any thing to do with my house because I wanted security for the pay - May be Somebody else will want security some time - or will wish they had it - I am satisfied. Mr. Crow Says My colts are doing well - Except that Victorid's wart is not cured yet - you remember I told you to get her up early and attend to it. You said you thought it would not be much of a job to cure it. I guess you find it worse than we imagined. I hope you will do all you can to have it cured and if it costs you any cash outlay and much Extra trouble I will be responsible to you for both - I hoped you would have burned it off as soon as you got her up - I presume you have but little Sleighing - Hope We may here from you all give respects to Mrs McDill & children - Mrs F is writing to Miss Erwin and will send her our compliments - Yours &c R N Fee
