User-Contributed Transcription Monday. I was sick when I went, and I have not been as well since.She left two daughters & one son they keep house here.I would like so much to see you and your boys. I think by your letter teaching must run in the family.Where is your niece who married the English man of nobility? I have often wondered.We are having lovely winter weather, yesterday was warm, and sunny, this evening it is raining, the roads are quite muddy.I have a friend a Mrs. Dorsett, who used to live in Oak Park, but is now teaching in North Carolina.Prof. Chamberlin of Chicago University who lives in Oak Park lived quite near me here. Do you know the family? They are charming people, but I was bit little acquainted with them.Remember me to all your cous. and accept much love from Cousin Carrie PomeroyI am quite ashamed of my poor letter but it is quite hard to me to write. Hope to hear from you often. THE NEWBERRY LIBRARY
