My Dearest One Well, we have at last arrived here safe and sound. After waiting three days at Buffalo, came here very comfortably in one day, and without much fatigue to Mother. Arriving here I was rejoiced with your letter, that of Jan. 3d written & sent only the day after we started, and which arrived here I believe they say on Monday last. I suppose it made the journey before the great storms, and nothing has gotten through the mighty blockade since till now. I trust you have written several times, and that a number of letters are one the way: and I hope will reach here tonight. It seemed good I assure you to get a letter from you written only even one day after I left there, to know that the little one's mouth were better, and how you all got along the first night; but I am still anxious enough to hear later new from you all. I know you have written, and I think letters will come to hand tonight. We did have rather a long and somewhat tiresome delay at Buffalo, from Tuesday till Friday. However we were pretty comfortably situated at the Hotel. For three whole days there was no Train got through the snow drifts on the Lake Shore Road between Buffalo & Erie or Cleaveland. And at Cleaveland there was but very little snow. At Buffalo, there was not really a great deal of snow, but a constant storm and very much wind from Monday till Friday.
