It is "after Taps," so I must close soon.
I did think of you all, on the first of
January, full as much as you did of
me, I guess. Every thing in the Box,
was as good as new, and we have
not had to move, since it came,
so they all have been useful, but
some of the clothing, which I have not
needed, yet. The Company drew a bbl.
of Flour, a few days ago & we have
made Dough-nuts & [C. & C.?] and get a-
long nicely, so far as living is con-
cerned. Pilot Bread does not find
very ready Market, for the time the
Flour lasts. Ann wrote me on
the Fourth of Jan. but told nothing,
which I need repeat here; Please
write me as often as the can. I am
sorry Mary gets no better so fast.
Give her and all the rest my love.

With much love to thee I am

As ever Thy loving Son
