I am very glad you
find your new lodgings
more comfortable — I have
never felt satisfied
since I saw Frinks

house on the outside —
Do not fail to come
home if you get sick
again — I shall be
continually uneasy about
you if you do not
let me know when you
are sick — We are having
rather dull weather
just now — so wet
that I cannot go in the
garden — Nicholas

that he does indirectly —
When are some of
you coming home –
I had your stove
put up yesterday —
I enclose $10 —
God bless you
Mother –
