dc.description.transcriptionBro. Hills, Sunday Night Aug. 15, 1880. My dear sweet wife: It is now half past ten, but I do not feel like lying down till I talk a little while with my wife, with that dear one who seems to night a part of my being. Today has been a busy one. Preaching at 11, at 3 p.m., baptizing at 4pm, preaching tonight. I talked tonight on the cost and worth of being a Christian. I was in a happy mood and made a feeling talk. Six young men came forward at conclusion and made confession of sin. They had been out of duty. I rejoice as much at their coming as I would had they come to confess Jesus. I expected to close the meeting tonight and spend a few days at the home of Chas. Dunn, but the interest is so good and the rain has so interfered with the meeting, that I am persuaded to continue a few days longer. The brethren are so anxious, that I cant refuse them. We have had eleven by baptism, and several reclaimed. The Lord is blessing our labors. The brethren and sisters here are so devoted to me that I almost fear that I shall become vain. May our Father keep me humble. Now, sweet wife, good night. I do you love you so much. Love to all, A. Clark Dear Sallie: I send you five dollars. Our meeting will close tomorrow night. The brethren will not let me go as long as they can possibly keep me. Seventeen have been baptized, or will be with three to day. A very happy meeting this has been. Send the accompanying article to Thos. Your card of the 12th came yesterday. Glad that you have some help. Hope that he will be of service to you. I am getting a little homesick. I do hope that sister is improving all right, and is by this time entirely well. Love to all, A.C. Sunday, Aug 18, 1880. Send this to Tommie – I mean the other bunch. A.C.
