Last Monday afternoon
I was very much pleased to receive a letter from you.
I am so glad that you are comforta- -bly settled in your new home and I hope that you will be well satis- -fied with the place.

Mary, dear, how are you chilblains? I do hope they are well by this time for I know you suffered very much
I hope your cold is better, also.
Miss Maeser came back Tuesday morning and went to Salt Lake Wednesday afternoon. Aunt Sarah has gone home, so we are all alone now. It seems so strange not to have you with us. If you received any pleasure by being at our house we also received pleasure by having you here. We all love you very much and no matter when you come to visit us, you will always be welcome.
The sleighing is lovely and I was out for a little while last
