From FindaGrave:

China, Maine
Feb. 14, 1864

Respected Child, I gladly embrace the opportunity of having the privilege of writing to you once more. I received your letter on Jan. 31th. We are all glad to hear from you once more. It was quite an interesting letter. All gathered round to hear as though it was a letter from one that long been dead and well it mitht for I believe it has been as much as twelve years since we had a letter. I hope it will not be so long again. By writing we can bring each other very near. I think George is about trying the experiment for he sent to me to get all his brothers and sisters post office address. He said he wanted to write to you all. I sent them to him, but if he writes to you it will come by way of California, the same as mine did, for I had not got your letter then. I will write to him soon so when he writes again he can send it direct to you.

I received a letter from Elbirdge since I answered yours. He said he was going to write to you as soon as he finds out how to direct a letter so you would get it. I expect to write to Elbridge this week and I will send him your
post office address and I shall send it to Marie so she can write to you. I received a letter from her Jan. 27th. She writes that she is troubled with a cough and phthistic most all the time. She feels bad because Samuel was drafted last fall and had to flea to Queen Victoria's land for safe keeping and Jeremiah has gone too for he is old to be drafted. It makes it bad for them for George is getting old or quite in years. Maria writes that he feels he
has palpitation of the heart. He has worked hard all his days and since he has been to the Aroostook he has to work hard digin wells and cellars and stoneing them. He expected to have the boys help him and bought land for to
settle them close by him but Lincoln or some other evil spirit has blasted all their expectations. Maria writes as wrathy about Lincoln or Uncle Sam as folks say she says she wished all the men in the army would run away and see what old Lincoln would do.

I don't know what old Lok Lincoln will do but I think I know one thing that is this war will ruin the country and the youngest child now living will not live to see this country in as good a condition as it was befour the war. If it should live to be a hundred years old. If I was young I would like to go to the Grate Salt Lake City and see you. I have heard many things about that people but I would rather see myself than to believe what others say. I would like to know if Brigham Young or some of the head ones read all of your letters before you get them.

Do you have the privilege of planning your business or do the rulers plan it for you. Can you go out of the City without permition and return when you pleas. You said you would send us a paper once in a while. I should like to have them. I want you to send me the year, month and day of the month that you was married to your first wife and to this one too. We have a large family record and all the rest is set down but yours.

Paul has goan to Maryland to work this winter and Charlott and little boy spends the winter with us. We have not had wether yet. Thar is only six inches of snow on the ground and it has been mild all winter more like spring than winter. John Robert Sarah's husband has been goan almost all winter on a mission trying to convert or reform the people. I think the world needs reforming if it ever did. He has large congragations and is as much respected in the neighbourhood as he is abroad. I think I have got as goode kind and affectionate children as any other Mother and I think that kind to me as eather of mine could be.

I think he is the right man to live with your Father for he is growing old and childish. James Lord has ben in hear this afternoon. He and Sybil gets along first rate. They are perfectly in each other for all he dose is write and all she dose is write so I think they must be untied in heart and hand. Charlott has got good likely man she can enjoy life with. I should be glad to say the same of Mary Ann but her Husband is not so kind and pleasant to her
and his children as I should be glad if he was but thar is men that is not so pleasant as he is in the world.

You said you thought of coming to see us if you have good luck another summer. We should be very glad to see you and your wife and all the little ones but I suppose that is entirely out of the question but you must kiss them for me for I do not expect to ever see them. I don't expect to see Albert's neather. I should be glad to get a letter from you every male. I should be pleased to have your wife write to me. Come Lydia write and let us get up a correspondence.

I will try and do the best I can so we can come near in spirit if absent in boddy. We can commune together by way of pen and paper. Caroline used to write to me and I have got her letters now and shall keep them as long as I live. I think I shall close for I expect you will get weary in reading my scribblings unless it is more interesting, Now my child I render unto you my grateful thanks for the present you sent me. I shall long remember it. I don't expect it will ever be in my power to make you amends.

I will send you the record of all famely's ages, maybe you may want to see them some time and I will send you Joseph Hoags vision. All he said would come has come up to this time and I will believe come to pass. I thought I had closed at the top of this page but I have kept on and now Charlott wants me to write and tell you to write to her after she goes home if you can't before. She will go in about tow month's. Her post office address is Nobleboro Maine. This vision and record is some of Father's printing;. He has made him a little printing press so he can print small pieces. The vision he printed when he first began is not very plane but I guess you can finde it out. The record he has printed lately. He understands it better then he did when he first began. I have been two days wiring this letter.

I can't write nor do anything but a little while befour my left side will ake so bad I have to lay down and let it rest. I have not stepped outdoors this winter. My right foot has troubled me a good while abut two years and a half. Some times it swells like a puff. Some times it is so sore I can hardly step on it, thane I wount tell of any more of my complaints, than to say I am growing old my health is getting poor I suffer more with aches than all my life before so good bye for this time.

I remain your affectionate mother Sarah Varney.

Uncle Jonothan Estes deceased Jan. 30, 1864 aged 84. Don't forget to write.
