Morgan, Aug. 22nd 1893

Dear Mother,

It may be that you would like to know who Marvin and the rest of us are. Everybody thinks that Marvin is recovering exceedingly rapid for typhoid fever and especially when he was so low. He improves very fast indeed. His appetite has come back and he has gained considerable in flesh.

He steadily grows stronger, too, but he cannot sit up but a few minutes at a time and not at all without support. It is nearly six weeks since he stood on his feet and it will be some time yet before he will be on them again. He talks about as much now as ever, but a few words sound thick. He has no fever now.

The other children and myself are well. Annie was here today. They are all well.

A letter from Charley states that after trying seventeen houses on the eve of the 14th inst. he slept out for the first time since he has been gone. He had also missed several meals except fruit that he picked by the wayside. I almost believe, though, that his thankful for the experience. 

On Sunday we had a heavy rain and another yesterday.

The Farmington excoursionists passed here this afternoon. 

It would seem good to hear from Farmington again.

Affectionately,

Emma W. Clark.
