Remsen December 20 1857 Dear Daughters It is quite a snowstorm here to day the roads are much drifted we started in the unclear and were obliged to turn back, for this reason we are not able to send for the mail to night. We are very uneasy in not hearing from you, Jane's policy in advising us when you were long without writing, "to think that you were not sick but very busy," does not give us much satisfaction it is three weeks to day since we sent you fifteen dollars which have not yet been accknowledged. I learnt by a letter from Mary to Robert that Jane was sick with a cold, has it proved to be something more than a cold, is Mary too sick if we do not hear soon my next letter will be to the faculty if you are able to write do let us hear from you or get some one to write for you your fathers health is not very good he is able to attend to his duties but is not well
