Robert McLinden,
I wrote you on the / 20th and posted it the nest / day enclosing a check to you / for $58, [part] owing to you Jan 1 / 90 / and for Maria and your / Christmas, and we also sent on / the 21st a carcel with some / things for your children. I hope / you have received all the / things. I cannot understand / why you have not acknowledged / them as you [know] I am / very particular when I send /
[END OF PAGE 1]
A check to have it acknowl - / edged at once, if you are / ill and cannot wrote you / could get some one of your / family to do it. perhaps you / may have written and it has / gone wrong I only want to / know that my check has / been received, We have had / very unusual warm weather / this morning the thermometer / at seven o’clock was 52. It rained / last night and the sheets / are very wet. I do not like / this mild damp weather / would rather have one [??] / cold weather, but I think / it has been very much
[END OF PAGE 2]
The same all [Dec.] We had / a quiet Christmas and some / presents and Christmas / cards, hoping to hear that / you have received my check / remember me to your household / and wishing you all a “Happy / New Year” yours
