The whole of November & this month have been a vacation of soft rainy & dark cloudy weather, but no snow, the Ladie's here do not care for mud or muddy water or the cures they ______ of water. William sends for spring water for us, but all the rest of the family prefer the river water as it is. I heard a day or two ago that Sister Ann was ill but is still at home, heard no more. We hope it was only one of her common attacks. Will and Mary were with her for the winter. I am afraid you will think this a very dull epistle but the best with all my ____ that I can see to do. Harriet keeps well and busy all day and called upon to play the Carrols for her Sunday schools. The want of money keeps me sad but I feel all is ordered by a divine hand.

I wish I were with you all -- Farewell dear friends all of you. Lucy Audubon
