New Hampton, Dec. 13, 1857 My Dear Mother, We were very glad to get your kind letter of Nov. 19. I thought then I should have answered it before this. But I have been busy and have deferred it from day to day. We were glad to hear that you were all in usual health. Eddie must have a long walk to school, especially if it is as cold as it is here. This morning the Therm. stood at 10 below zero. The coldest we have had. Johnny and Lizzy go to school. They do not mind the cold much. I dress them very warm and they like to go. Hattie, we think is rather too small to go
