[Page 1 of 2, right side]
Wainee, April 10, 1843.
Greetings to you two, Mr. and Mrs. Cooke,
Because we are apart these days, unable to converse one mouth to another, it is necessary
to clarify by letter the various aspects of our stay. Because of that, I am informing you about us
and the boys of ours. From the first day of our stay here until now, it has been as it is when we
all stay together, either there or here. They do not resist, and they are not a burden; our stay here
is pleasant. The domicile is peaceful, staying here at the house and going
[Page 2 of 2, left side]
to the ocean to swim last Saturday, horseback riding that evening, and going to church yesterday.
The boys went to English-language services twice, all of us in the morning and then just Dr. Judd
and the four boys went again. And that night we sailed to the ship, the four boys and the two of
us. Dr. Judd took over Sunday School. We saw someone talking with Dr. Judd, possible help for
all of us, however it was not clear. Maybe Mose has written to you two about this.
We miss you folks very much and pray to God on your behalf, to help you folks and us as
well. Much affection to the two of you and the young
