Sam Hollow
Mch. 9, 1895.
Mr. Harris,
Ada, Ohio.
Dear Joe: — One more week has passed, and I find myself at my accustomed place, and feeling a little more like writing than I did one week ago. My grippe did not of as short duration as I had predicted. I went to school on Mon. although I did not feel any better, and that night I was ready for a Dr.
He pronounced it tonsilitis, (is that spelled right?) which was quite painful until Wed. noon, and has been getting better ever since. The Dr. said I could begin my school again by Tues. if it was necessary, but do not think I will begin that soon.
Alva taught two days for me but thought he could teach no longer so closed the school.
I felt very sorry on account of the school but could not prevent it then.
The meeting closed one week ago, and although many of the young people are not yet satisfied, I feel that it has marked a change in their lives which will have its influence through life. I do not know whether I told you of all that were converted. Burgess Armstrong, Cecil Burns & Ida Pickering were among others.
Mother is still here, do not know when she will go home. Ira writes that they are keeping fat as pigs (lean pigs), he is carrying six studies, too much for any one I think.
Another one has passed away from the trials of this life, but left that vacant place in the home which none other can fill—Jout Fawcett's wife.
She was buried yesterday at Bethel.
I rec'd the papers from Newark, they were quite an inspiration indeed. Thank you for being so thoughtful. I presume you were well paid for the time spent, although it made it very hard after you came back.
Please do not reflect on your decision for this year, for I am inclined to think it is all for the best.
Alva brought your letter down on Thur. They seemed to think it did me much good. You may send my letters to Plantsville unless I state otherwise.
No more now.
Yours Lovingly
Bertha E. Lambert.
