Dec. 28, 1882 Dear Sister, J is going to the village, and we hope to have [some] word from you as we have not heard for some days - Monday we received the [lastly loh] cards for which we are much obliged- that is the last we have heard from you. I have had two sleigh rides this week,- the first for me have felt very tired since but keep of pretty well considering the fuss we are in - are getting nearly ready now for one new tenant [Dds] helped us yesterday and Caroline was here in the afternoon helping. They cleared the study for a bed room leaving only the large book shelf.

Did you get [?] letter written at R. D.s
