My dearest Brother
I received your kind letter last
Evening & tonight the one from Flushing was forward-
ed to me. For both and for the kind proffers
they contained I return you many, very many thanks
The recollection of your thoughtful interest for
the welfare of myself & child
to the memory of a thousand acts of similar
kindness to me & mine. I felt quite lonely
when I reached N. York, not to find you there

His success in the healing art is almost mar-

it will be rather sooner there we have a
right to expect your Mrs.
Do not fail to make us a visit on your
return. You could imagine how much we
want to see you in this land of strangers.
I had a letter from this week. They
are all well & enjoying the luxury of their
new furnace. here the weather is so mild
that I am now siting at an open window
I was interrupted last night while writing to
you & this morning I have only time to send this
to the post officer before the mail closes.
I am most faithfully,
Your sister,
