User-Contributed Transcription New Bedford Dec. 25 1858.
Dear Charles, I commence my letter by wishing you a Merry Christmas. I wish you could be here to spend Christmas with us but as you cannot I send you a small token of remembrance, of my love and regards for you. Dear Charles I wish you always to keep this Bible whatever your lot may be although distance may seperate us, Friends may prove false to you, let this remind you that you will always find an unchanging Friend in your Affect. Mother I consider this the best directory a young man can have It will teach you to deal justly and walk humbly. Please make it a rule to read one chapter every night before retireing. Sam has writen to you about your boots, We are all well we have services at our Church this evening I shall attend with the children after the services the Bible Class will present Mr [[Furgs?]] with a butiful Bible
your Affet Mother
