Be assured not a day passes without my thinking much, _____ bearing you all on my heart to God.  As you are the only remaining earthly Parent which we have, all my _____ & dutiful affection naturally rest on you. How distinctly do I remember 24 years ago when I was a married women in my father's family as Sarah is now at home in similar circumstances, it seems to bring all those days fresh to my mind.  I should certainly accompany Mr. Cone & make you another visit, was it not for my young children, the _____ & scarlet fever has broke out in our neighborhood and has taken one of our near neighbors a girl of thirteen years, the most distressing sickness and death I ever witnessed. Revilo was very sick for about 10 days four weeks ago. I hardly knew _____ him at the time but now I am _____ that he had the same fever.  Tuesday morning I was _____ off last night all of a sudden so I must close very _____ .  I think however I shall visit you next spring or summer.  Give my _____ to all brothers and sisters should be glad to see any of you here.  I should think Gen. Palmer and Statira might come.

Your affectionate daughter, Abbe C. Cone
