Oscar Lamb has written him several times, but he does not write back, and I told your Brother that was the case. So if he doe not write - to me on that account, I donot know what to think of it.

Well enough of this. How do you do now days? and are you teaching this Winter? And your sister Mary, is her health pretty good this Winter? I suppose she is engaged in teaching the young ideas, yet. We hear from Lottie every week, Mary is up there, attends school, likes very much, Sisy is a little darling, she is not so pretty as darling little Eddie was, but she is a healthy baby, her name is Charlotte Edna, she is now over ? months old, we have her Ambrotype, and also that of little Eddie's was taken after he died, but looks very natural many cannot believe, but he was living at the time, his eyes look a little heavy. We have had a very pleasant day rather muddy walking, and one day last week, seemed like Spring, the snow was all gone, but some more came soon. Cousins Ann & Sarah Belding are up in Chicopee now, but I suppose they will come back in the Spring again. Father is quite comfortable now, Week before last he was very bad indeed, his head troubled him very much, but last week he was quite comfortable. Please excuse more now will finish this eve. Good evening. Well we are seated around the table
