The previous communication sent by Emma was incomplete due to the ice and harsh travel conditions. Emma has been sick but now is as well and strong as could be hoped, with recovery by degrees. She does not have diphtheria as previously thought. She is looking for local religious services for social religious needs after being cooped up.

Emma is too weak to write today and has requested Alma to write. She continues to suffer from pain in her back. She is bed-ridden but has hope in homeopathic medicine. She will inform him by telegram if something changes, but they must have faith in God.
