Mr. McBride
Dear Sir,
    I received yours came to hand yesterday evening and found me in good 
health and the people generally are well here.  They have a great revival of 
Religion here at this time.  Mary Eliza West has got converted and joined the 
church, there has been several other conversions and I think five have joined 
the Church I mean the baptist church, and one I think has joined the methodist 
and they think there were fifty morner down at one time to be prayed for.  
Conoly is here and they have meeting every night, but I have been engaged in 
my school and not attended one of the meetings since monday night.  I expect 
however to attend them now until next monday night.
    I saw Mr. Sandy last sunday and have not seen him on any week day but I 
talked to him about your claim and he will not give a note for that amount but 
he told me that he would pay the Drs bill and whatever was right for your 
trouble and he thought you claimed too much, but he told me to write to you 
and tell you that he would go down as soon as possible after he could get out 
his first dipping of turpentine and would pay the Doctors bill and as much 
more as he could.  He seemed very glad that you had paid the bill to the Dr 
for him.
    The information you asked about the cow is something I know nothing about 
except you hint, and do not know whither I will be able to find out any thing 
or not, for I do not know of whom to ask information, for I might hint in the 
rong place.
     I must come to a close for the bel has wrung and I must start to school 
and I do not know that there is any thing more that would interest you - so 
nothing more.
  
Yours sincerely,
L D Cain
