Dear Bob,
Alice has givin me premission to
put this mail in her letter so I will a few
lines. Laura has been very sick and [illegible]
had to go in and take care of her, she
is much better but not well enough
to come out here yet [illegible] said
when she came out that Laura cried
ever so long for she said that she
would shurly like if she left her alone
for she would be so lone some.[Illegible]
says that Uncle Asa has to dress
Laura's [illegible] for she will not let
any one else touch her [illegible].
How do you enjoy your self at
Cleveland this winter?
We have had but two snow
storms since you were here and
the last one is just begining to
thaw, now I hope it will freze
tonight for it is so bad walking
to school when it is so muddy.
