User-Contributed Transcription Remsen, Mar 18, 1888My beloved daughters, Jane & Anna,Sarah intended to write to you yesterday or certainly today but she seems quite tired out with different things so I must try to see if I cannot say something about matters interesting and animating to us all. A precious treasure was committed to the charge of your brother and sister early yesterday morning, a second son, a fine boy, very pretty and so far very peaceable. Jane is comfortable and the little one nurses nicely today. Robby pulls at him and hugs him with much affection, and pretty roughly sometimes. The folks weighed him according to American fashion yesterday, 10 1/2 lbs. They have not heard anything about it so far at Grandpa William's as the thawing has been such for the last two or three days, that no one could go, certainly not with a horse. And as we are all so well we do not feel so much concern about sunday.Your letter to Sarah arrived Tuesday eveng (it is now Thursday). We were glad to hear that you were fully well. Hope you did not have much trouble
