Dear Gardner.
My Darling Husband.
I have
heard nothing from you since the last
battle but thing there must be letters for me
at Moretown before now.
I am going out there in a few days and
Mother and Celia are going back to Roxbury.
It snowed last night and there is
about an inch on the ground now but
if I was in Michigan I should say
it would be all gone before night.
I have had sisteen of your pictures taken
which I will send you if you want more
let me know and I will get them.
Mother received two letters from Father
a few days ago. he writes that he is troubled
with the rheumatism and has been ordered
to the hospital three times but had not
gone yet
Dec. 13th I commenced this yesterday and
will now try to finish it although I do
now know when I shall have a chance to
send it to the office.
The snow is all gone and I guess we are
not going to have any sleighing this winter
I would not care much if it would only
be good wheeling but it does not look
much like that for it has been raining
all day.
Uncle Jabey just told me he was
going to the village so I will send this
by him.
I will start those pictures the first time
I go to the village.
With love and kisses.
Your ever faithfull and loving wife.
M. B. C.
