Pleasanton Kansas  April 5th 1870 Rev. J. H. Wilbur  Dear Friend   Your communication reached me yesterday at this point, having been forwarded from Martinsburgh. Enclosed you will find a receipt for the amount received. I thank you for you kind interest in my welfare. Your name has become familiar to me, through precious friends whose memory will ever be dear to me, who have left a brightness that nothing in life can dim.  You will doubtless empired to learn that I have found a home not very distant from Oregon. And have become the  
        wife of a Home Missionary who is laboring in this new place. A great field of usefulness his before us and I trust we shall be enabled to do much good among this people.  I was married the 28th Feb. to J.P. Harsen, formally of New York, but for four or five months a resident of this place. The town is situated on the Nev. River, Fort Scott, 8  Gulf R.R. Thas had an existence only about eight months, but has had a remarkably rapid growth.  It is indeed a great Change from my Eastern home. But I trust with the blessing of God to be contented, and happy while I ask to do  His will.  
        With kind regards to Mrs Wilbur.  I remain very cordially   Yours    F.C.Y. Harsen    Pleasanton    Linn Co.    Kan.
