It is an honor to stand by the old flag in this time of peril. I expect to visit Father's folks next week & shall probably see you at that time, or before I return.
We shall probably have a funeral sermon at South Paris on the 24th of this month if it will suit your convenience, to be there at that time. We all send our love to you. May God bless you and your little one. Your Br. A. B. Lovewell
