9th January. 1866.
My dear Will,
Aunty
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
passed the
night much more comfort-
ably than the previous
one. She was able to lie
down all night and
slept quietly a considerable
portion of the time. This
morning she sits reading
the papers — her cough
still troubling her much —
but I think she is doing
very well — & the doctor
Birth: 1828-03-09 Death: 1895-11-10
,
who has just been here
seems satisfied with her con-
dition.
I have nothing new to
write since yesterday, not
having been out. The
intensely cold weather has
moderated somewhat — it
is still very clear and
bright.
I have been so very
glad to hear that you
were better than before I
left. Pray do be careful of
yourself for all our sakes.
Love to Jenny
Birth: 1839-11-18 Death: 1913-11-09

Ever most affectionately your sister
