5th I wish you could see Emily's letter - to see how kindly toned it is. I was surprised and pleased, of course and hope she will eventually feel all right - She commences the letter "Dear sister Mary" and ended it "affectionately", which I particularly noticed as evidences of progress in her feeling of sisterly love and friendship. I wish she would write to you, I sent her your present address: Perhaps she will. In my letter she wrote just as she used to, and you never would have supposed she had any unkind feeling at all. Her health is better - They all - and Samuel's family, are all well. We are all well. That is all but the baby. He is teething and has sick days once in a while. Eva has a cold, too, now. Charlie creeps every where. He has but two little under teeth yet. He had some confectionery and a five cent piece. Eva had a number of things I guess she'll never want to write to Eddie herself - some time and tell him about it - She was delighted with Eddie's letter and so was I. We want he should write often He must write to me too. Rhoda had a new calico dress Christmas, and I a beautiful Boulevard skirt a present from Chandler - Was'nt he good. He certainly is one of the very best of brothers - O! and I must tell you about written down left side of page Tis little Arthurs birth-day to-day. Kiss him for me and also Eddie, Winnie, and Georgie for me too Give my love to Mr. Kendall I'm sorry he's got cold - Hope he is better by this time I have'nt time to write the letter boys to-day will next time All send love to all - Lovingly yours Mary A Reed
