Dear Papa
I received your letter of the 12th / on Monday but as Mama wrote to you by / the return mail I thought I would defer writing / untill to day, I believe she gave you all/ the information you requested, in her letter, / and I have heard nothing particular since.
Theodore has not yet returned home [nor?] / I have not heard any thing about him / There was a letter came yesterday for you / post marked Waterford which I presume is / the one you referred to in your letter /
The weather is very pleasant here although / cold. We have had no sleighing here since / you have been gone but the river looks / beautiful the Ice is so very smooth and clear / I have received no letter from Eliza since / I returned from the city I wish you
[END OF PAGE 1]
Would tell her so when you see her, and tell her / she must write very soon. I wish you would / bring me Peabody’s Parlour Journal No 1 The papers / speak very highly of it and I want to see what / it is . __ Mama received a letter from Aunt Ary / yesterday they were all very well Uncle David / had been on the Island the day before she wrote / we are all very well here and join in love / to you
Your affectionate Daughter
