Tuesday Jan 31st
My dear Henry,
I hope there is nothing
more serious than business
that prevents your writing —
I continue to gain strength –
but it is still difficult for
me to write — Fred
home Saturday fearing I
might be no better — Fanny
is not very well, but is down
stairs — the rest all well —
the weather exceedingly changeable —
Sunday the mercury stood below
Zero - today it thaws again —
your own Frances —
