My dearest Jenny
Your letter of the 14th came
last night. I cannot imagine whay it
should take them so long as the mails are
now running regular. Our snow which had

with every prospect of sleighing.
I have not the least objections to your visiting

if you think a change willtend to help you gain strength as I really
hope it may. Should you go to Lues for any

best either for you to pay your board or

as you family would be as large as her
I enclose a little letter for Nelly
