Dear Aunt Louise I received your kind and welcome letters and was glad to hear from you. I was so glad when I read that you and Laura were coming up to see me. I do hope you will come. I have got some Sunday school papers for you and some play things for the children and some paper dolls for Sadie. I want you to thank Mrs Stacy and Sadie Brown for me for the lovely Xmas presents that they sent me.

I hope Edith's eye will get well I should like to see you all very much. Do you know where Addie Johnson is she never writes to me now I should like to hear from from her very much! Did Eddie and Rosa say any thing about coming to see me they have been down to see you twice since they have been to see me I have not seen them since they were down when I were there with father. I have not seen father since last June I do wish he would come and see me. I should like to have you let me know the day you and Laura can come to see me so I could come up and meet you. Write and

Dear Mary, -

I will drop you a line in regard to the record of your mother's death. Have you written to the party in Pennacook? I am waiting patiently for your answer. I have already got the record from Candia. If you haven't heard from Pennacook I wish you would write and hurry them up because thats all I am waiting for now, I have got everything else. Howe are all of you folks getting along? We are well here and hope you are the same. Austin said he would like to see Joe and the

rest of the folks. He liked the Tobacco and thanks him very much for it. He is coming over to see you before a great while. I have just got through milking, and I am very tired so I will say goodnight, with love to you and all, From Your Loving Mother

The Boat is sometimes untill almost noon getting up & I did not know but you had rather keep right on in the cars you would have to take a Carriage in New York to the cars I suppose you can speak for one before you get out of the cars by giving up your checks or you can get one after you arrive there are a plenty of them ready they ought not to charge you
