Transcription	Providence May 10th 72 My darling Boy! Yours to La of May 2nd was received this morn- I am thankful that terrible disease is abating and pray no new cases may occur- my uneasiness is great and I [illegible word] �Pa� to send for you to come home. I do not wish you to run any risk if it is considered contagious or new cases. I think it would be best to come home. I feel doubly anxious since you speak of festivities Don�t you think it unwise at such a time parading in sun & c. you cant be too careful. How strange as soon as a disease is conquered it comes in new form baffling human skill. Pa registered a letter for you on Monday containing $100 which I hope y�ll soon receive. I thought you would have purchased your clothes on credit, several weeks since Pa has been annoyed not getting it ready sooner. Don�t pain me my darling by saying you cant drink at the spiritual Fount. perhaps you are deceiving yourself or seeking in your own strength, only believe Faith [illegible word] as small as a mustard seed- the good Book tells us will save �Opportunities neglected, often repented of- and you my Boy, are enjoying them now, and have an opportunity of finding out the Christian belief, and instead of making my gloomy it should have the opposite effect. For when we feel consciencious of doing our duty to the best of our ability we must have an inward happiness that cannot be taken from us- God does not demand from his Creatures impossibilities �Son give me thy heart� On Tuesday Eve, there is to be a mite party at Mrs. Blackburns for benefit of Episcopal Church. Lizzie sent me word to come with my Pockets full- This makes the [condition] so hard. I fear I cant attend for money is not as plenty �as leaves in [Valambosia].� Mrs. Smith has rented her house to [Birk] Roberts and living with her mother. Well I only started to write you a line and a beautiful scrawl it is. But if you can decipher the words you will find they spring from the deep Fountain of a Mother�s love, in which Pa would join me, where he here. By the way, Pa expects to go to [P.G.] in a week or two to settle up my dear Mother�s little estate. Your loving Ma Sarah G. Bernard Your directions quite stylish
