How glad we was to hear that Cyrus is safe.  What a burden it takes from our minds  We have not had a letter from him yet.  Lib is expecting Ellisin home in the course of two or three weeks.  She expects to go out west with him, and spend the winter.  Mary Jane has not returned yet.  I think probably she will remain down there all winter, so our family will be quite small again. I must close, as it is growing very late.  The family all send their love to you, give our kind wishes to Marion also. Please answer soon. Ever your Aff-- Sister Martha Emily Garrett.
