Home Sunday morning.

Dear Brother mine.

Much to our disappointment we did not receive a single letter yesterday.

We did not write to you friday because we thought you would be gone and not get a letter if it reached Washington.

There was quite a heavy frost last night, I am afraid all the fruit is killed, and our flowers are many of them spoiled.

Uncle Asa and Aunt Nettie came out yesterday, to choose more trees.

Emma and Annie came out last thursday in the stage, they are both quite well, Emma sends her love to you, Aunt Dele says "tell Bob he is always remembered in my prayrs", Annie says, "tell him he is remembered in mine too, for I always pray for my enimies first", she sends her love.

We expect Mr Cutting out to dy, and Ransom.

It is so cold that I really can't write so you must imagine this letter is an interesting one.

We hope to have a girl tomorrow, I am heartily tired of doing our own work.

I am going to read Mrs Brownings poems to day if I get any time.

There are "lots" of little birds about now some very pretty ones.

With much love Sister Dalce
