High Point,
Dec. 26th 1875.

Dear brother George,

Here I am
at home again, but the feeling is not
a very home like one for I sadly miss
the sound of footsteps and voices which
made this the dearest spot on earth to me.
Perhaps you would like to know what
I've been doing of late. Well I'll go
back to the day I mailed a letter and
package to Mother from Salisbury,
nearly a week ago. The day was a very
delightful one, warm and springlike,
and we enjoyed it to the fullest extent.
Buying presents for the little ones and
a few big ones, was pleasant work.
