Our lectures here this winter have not been very good. fine sleighing and I enjoy seeing others riding merrily past. There was a large fire this week on Genesee St. which I presume your brother will send you an account of - loss $77,000. I do not know as I shall teach next summer but in the fall I intend to go further West. I wish that we could hear from you oftener. Yours affectionately, Abbie Dear Jennie, I am certainly unable to tell whether or not I have written to you since receiving your last letter. I think I will write before long but do not wait for me at all. We have had some queer times of late here of which I presume Abbie has written to. How I wish I could see you, even for fin? winter. Wishes all in vain so I can only write. That journal here are out lately though I can easily make it on back I think. I am writing in school and must stop now. I hope your tharmometer has not stood quite as low lately as those in Utica. Yours aff. Fanny
