Rehine writes I may have what works I like, still I do not wish to Tax him Too far—I wish you'd please have my name on outside Bible with from “son Rehine” I have just written a letter to our dear Friend E Moses, to come on with Mr Block, whom I expect soon, Rosalie & family spend the summer with Lucia, (untill after her marriage, which you no doubt are informed of—Eleanor has gone to Arkansas to Cousin Franzs Sarah is with the rest at Quincy Abraham & my Husband go in business at Memphis do let me know the state of the Jews if you know there as I feel reluctant to go out of congregite?
