My dear James
I think it is time I
wrote you a few lines to tell
you we are all well and not
so dull has I've expected to be
when you all left us; for we
found Mr Stephens a very chatty
person not shy or reserved as
I've expected to find him, He
gave us two good sermons and
in the evening explained the
parables of the prodigal's son.
his chest must be weak for
he could scarcely speak at the
end.
