A. you must tell her to write, immediately, without fail. I want she should write to me, so that I can let Char's, know all about it in season, or she may write to both of us. Chandler said that D. & E, thought if coming down, and going in to my school, and carry me home; I should like it first rate; and hope they will. Tell E she must tell me all about it; If she does not come, I shall get a team here, and meet C, where S & I left him to go to his school..... A, I suppose you, S, & Mary have excellent times this winter. I really wish, you all would come, and go into my school & perhaps you will. I hope you will get along in your studies, so that you can try school Keeping, next summer; I want page torn should write, & let me know how you get along; & tetorn page to write, without fail; I wonder how Pa. gets along with his loging Buisiness this winter; I guess he has a plenty of snow; Tell him, that I wish I was there, to help him, he must save, 2 or 3 logs, till C.. & I come home. Has Sam'l cut up all of his Turkeys yet? How does Sam's "took, too"s come on, I should think they would all freeze up. Tell Mother that she must save 1 mince pie, till till I come Home; Tell her that I should like a stock or hanky, very much; but if we come home, she need not send them; My shoes have not come yet, & I guess they never will. Abby I can't write any more, althoug, I have not written half, I want to. Good Bye, give my love to all the folks. you or E must certainly write immediately, for we must come home. Tell them all, to put in a word or 2. I hope this will find you all well. & give my respects to Danford.

          from your affectionate,
          Brother Charles   Goog Bye
