User-Contributed Transcription Jan 15th 1855My Dear ChildrenWe have a letter from Isaac dated 7th Jan. He and his expect to be here in two or 3 weeks - is stopping to visit her friendsI have forgotten every time to ask you Albina whether you have seen my black fur tippet I suppose I wore it home last winter but I have tryed & try'd to recollect about it but I cant remember anything when I had it last or where I put it - I did not think of it when I left home I wonder why I did notCharlie's little collars never left here thru my carelessness & I intended to tell you that Saml had your Chickens & sold 'em at the store and gave Charlie credit for them. What are you & Charles reading nowadays, or dont you have time to read anythingLucy you know got very much rundown last summer I thought she would recruit again as Percie got better & the cold weather came & she has some but she is not near as strong as she was a year ago cannot bear near as much fatigue or exposure & Percie tho' he grows fat & large does not seem to be quite well - He has never been "just right in his bowels since he was sickWhat a blessing it is to enjoy good health are you & I thankful enough. Maria has had a very bad cold and her baby too - We had a letter from Anna last Saturday She is well & happy as ever every time she writes she talks about having company - Some half dozen folks, to stay several weeks or just had a party or some such thing
