Text Any textual data included in the document Philadelphia March 5, 1839 Having but little to do this afternoon I have thought I would com mence a letter to you though I may write a day or two before I put it in the mail in hopes of having a line from you. I arri ved here last evening after a tedious journey I found the traveling exceedingly bad. I left Wooster on Saturday and got as far as Paris a distance of about forty miles about mid night and concluded there to spend the Sab bath. The rest of the passengers went on Sab bath morning. Here owing to the [?badomen?] of the roads and the consequent derangement of the stages I was obliged to stay till tues day morning Tuesday we proceeded on as far as New Lisbon a distance of 26 or 28 miles and no urgency could prevail on them to carry me any farther that night. Thursday morning we proceeded on our journey and arrived at Smith's Ferry on the Ohio about 1 o clock in the afternoon. There were two steam boats in sight but they had gone by and so I had to tarry there till night About dark I made out to get aboard of a boat and arrived in Pittsburg thursday morning at 1 oclock. Was detained in Pittsburg till Friday morning, when I took the stage for Philadelphia. Owing to the mud and snow our progress was slow. Was in the stage all of the first night and most of the second. Spent the Sab bath in Huntington. The day of rest was very acceptable though I was so sleepy I could scarcely keep awake at meeting. Heard an agent of the Assemblies board of Foreign Missions in the day time and an agent of the Seamen [?friends?] society in the evening. Monday morning took the stage. The weather was extremely cold though pleasant through the day. Travelled all night and arrived in Harrisburg just in time to take the morning cars which brought us to Philadelphia last evening about 6 o clock. Last night I [?turned?] at Dr Greens and to day have taken lodging in the family of a Mr Evans where I receive the kindest attention. The law suit has made but little progress. They have com menced taking testimony to day. The pros pect is that the case will be rather tedious and what will be the decision we of course know not. My health is good with the exception of fatigue. I hope that during my absence you may enjoy the smiles of providence and the consolations of religion. It is perhaps a good thing at times to put the effects of our own weak men. But I know of nothing better for christians than to trust in the Lord and go forward in the path of duty. Though he slay me yet will I trust in him is the language of an ancient saint and it should be the language of every child of God. I shall reserve the remainder a day or two in hopes of a letter from you 9th Called this morning at the post office in hopes of finding a letter from you but found none. Trust you are getting along well. The law suit progresses tardily almost a week is gone and the testimony on the part of the prosecution is not yet finished. So I may rest for the present [illegible] I shall not probably be called up till the last part of next week. I am at present inclined to think that I shall not go to New England, but return to Ohio as soon as I can be spared. A number of my old friends are here, Mr Sathrop, Judge Brown &c. How the case will terminate I know not. The Lord reigneth and let him reign. Such business as I am now engaged in is not very congenial to my feelings. My people need not much expect me home till about the last of March. I hope they will not cease to assemble together for prayer and religious worship. Take good care of yourself and our dear children till my return. Take a cathartic occasionally if necessary. Your affection ate husband Varnum Noyes Miss Lois W.
