My Dear
Mother
Another of your kind favors came to
hand by the last mail for which accept my thanks. I forwarded
immediately to Ann was pleased to hear of your continued good health I
always think of you all time and time again daily and if I could know
you were always well should feel better satisfied. have not visited Ann
very lately received a letter from her a few days since They were all
well. sent yesterday plenty of Christmas presents for her children wish
I was near enough to spend the coming holidays with you. should dread
the cold weather very much but the pleasure of being home a week would
more than repay a little cold I can imagine how cold and dreary it is
with you now while we have here the finest sunshine and air imaginable
I always sleep with my windows open summer and winter and am now
writing by the open window. Harris is very well indeed I doubt if he
ever enjoyed better health we are doing a large business but times are
very hard you can form a pretty correct opinion of it by your own times
at home. I hope Uncle Elias and Frank have not lost much money and will
soon be all right again I see things are much more settled throughout
the States and prospects much better for a healthy business ahead. I
can hardly realize that Harry and Mary have grown so much. from your
description of them do not know that I could recognize them if I should
see them now. why do not John and Mary write to me I should like much
to have them besides it is very necessary they should learn to write
good letters and the only way is plenty of practice I shall send you a
draft by next mail. would have done so this but did but just receive
your letter and could not very well as I have nearly $6,000. to pay
within two days. do not fail always to apply to me when you need any
money for any purpose. my love to all will send Willie a
paper.
Yours as
ever
Chittenden
