Dear Father and Mother;

As another mail day is approaching I must write and send a few lines home. Last week I posted a letter to the Sunday School by means of which you undoubtedly will learn that I am blessed with having a good time. And I trust you and all at home are well, enjoying the blessings of the Gospel which always afford happiness and pleasure. The hot weather will have passed ere this reaches you and you will again be enjoying the cool air and delightsome scenes of our pleasant and beautiful Autumn. The nights here are becoming cooler and one's appetite for sleep does not "diminish" at all; mine as you know, is good in all kinds of weather. My health is real good; and there is nothing that prevents my having a good time. The "weekly" is very entertaining; the Old Folk's Excursion, the State Hood Jubilee, the Strike that has passed, and many other things I have read with interest.

Of my field of labor I can say it is very inviting and yields a great deal of pleasure.

Sister Hilt said to send kind regards. My quarters here are very comfortable and always remain the same. Write often.

Your aff. Son,

J.A. Clark
