2 -many children have died I have spent the winter very pleasantly as I did not keep house at all Annie wished to spend
the winter at Phillips and Sarah wished me to stay with her so I stayed with them twelve weeks and Sarah did all she could
to make my visit comfortable I only got home about a week ago and Annie has not got home yet but Annie illegible - came with
me she is attending an Institute this week that is being held here her health has been quite poor all winter but she is feeling
much better now, and hopes to teach this summer I think I told you that my house was sold to the city but they told me I might
stay there as long as I wished 3 - of course by paying a rent so I think that probably I shall remain here during the
summer. Is your health quite restored and have you had a good picture? during the winter; has any of the children been able
to attend school Do you intend to go to farming again this coming summer I am sure I feel as much interested in all your plans
and would be pleased to have one of you write oftener. I am afraid things have not turned out as your expected When I came
home I felt surprised to see David looking so very thin and poor he has been more confined than ever this winter, as Parry
