have a house built near Mr Wallace's. It is a very nice situation being so near the church. I am glad they are going to live so near us. We shall be able to see them more frequently. Mama is much better. She has almost got rid of her cough. I forgot to ask her before she went to bed if she had any message for you. I must now conclude my letter which I hope you will be able to read for I have written it in a great hurry as it is very late. Good night dearest And believe me to remain Ever your affectionate Susan D Strang
