Remsen, Jan. 3, 1862. Dear Sister, This is my first letter this year- and a poor one I fear it will be, for my mind is somewhat undecided as to what to say. Anna thinks perhaps you had better get some double zipper worsted for her 5 oz of Magenta (or some color almost like that, Cousin Mary saw some such as she wants) and 2 1/2 oz of black, and if you can find a chance to send it up right off we might make it before you come home and then decide what to do for mine. Otherwise, that is, if you do not have an opportunity to send that up to Anna bring it along with you and also some black silk for the outside of one for me. I have quite enough

along the top: We sent $5.00 in this- will you want more? Let us know. Do not let "I did not have enough money" hinder you from getting what you want. We had a letter from cousin Thurs. Everett one day or two since. He has heard from his bro Robert that John and family arrived safely Dec.7. Jennie
