User-Contributed Transcription written thus far with baby in my arms, but stopped to get her to sleep. Now she is in her cradle making a great noise about breathing. Charlie is standing by me. Says - "Mother I feel lonesome without father". May is rather fretful. She says "tell father I want him to come home." Charlie Rich is just bringing in the milk. He is going about clearing off the snow from the door steps. It has not snowed to day, but has been cloudy all day. I hope it will clear away before long. Mother seems lonesome and homesick. You being away and the weather so bad that Anna does not get here "Darkness falls from the wings of night". So I stop.Lovingly NettieP. Aid Soc. have an Oyster Supper at Ely Hall next Tuesday Eve.
