I would write you all about Mallie her baby & her house keeping but she has so lately written. I have not beenquite so well as usual lately. Exerted myselftoo much over a time, took a little cold tooperhaps - My infirmities are felt more thansometimes - Am taking port wine by the Doctorsdirections. We have heard only one fromAlmeda since they went home - Mr. Riderwas then doing well. You ask if I haveSamuels company evenings - very rarely now,though I almost pine for it, but by and byafter the river closes, they will take turns stayingat home. Mother is here, and I don'tknow how to be thankful enough that she is.It seems when she is here, as if I could notget along if she were away. Ellen is with meyet and is a right down good girl, but I expect to lose her in the spring, as she will probablyemigrate with her people to Minnesota - doplease write me another dear letter soon - much loveto your parents & Jenny - I hope to see them sometime about.
