Marion, Iowa,<br />
March 18, 1861<br />
My Dear Children, Henry, Edson, and Willie:<br />
We are now at Bro. Snook’s. This is a good home.<br />
When I see <strong>the</strong>ir little babe, and take it in my arms,<br />
I yearn for my own dear babe which we laid in Oak<br />
Hill Cemetery; but I will not permit one<br />
murmuring thought <strong>to</strong> arise. I enjoy <strong>the</strong> society of<br />
this family. Sister Snook is an excellent woman.<br />
Tomorrow we visit bro<strong>the</strong>r and sister Weaver,<br />
who have charge of <strong>the</strong> hotel at Fairview. What a<br />
change we see in <strong>the</strong>m since our last visit <strong>to</strong> this<br />
State. Then we were entertained at <strong>the</strong>ir hotel and<br />
treated kindly; but <strong>the</strong>y were not <strong>the</strong>n converted <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> truth. Now our hearts are united, and we shall<br />
enjoy <strong>the</strong> visit.<br />
I am suffering from severe cold settled on my<br />
lungs. My mind runs home <strong>to</strong> my children.<br />
