Dec. 22

Home, Monday Morning

Very cold, and I am rheumatic again. The team will go in for you on Wednesday - weather and Roads permitting - otherwise you had best come out in the stage, Thursday morning. - if you can come comfortably - you may bring a pound of good tea, but no eatables - We get turkeys of alonzo - If convenient, get me a bottle of quinine, of Bryan - I have a bill then - Bring copies of the Prairie Farmer - I did not get mine last week

[illegible] It is safer to depend upon the stage than the cars, and if we cant send the team to chicago, wednesday morning, we shall not be able to send it to the Point wednesday night - So we shall look for you by stage
