From Evelena Mighels to her son Harry, January 26, 1866 page 4

Joe Newhall has purchased an
interest in a paper mill in Harres-
ville, New Jersey -- He is now
here, to take his family on there. -- They
were to have left today, but are detained
by a heavy snow-storm. -- The first deep
snow of the season. -- We have, thus far,
had a very open winter. -- This month
has been very cold. -- It is still snow-
ing, and I doubt if they get away before
next week. -- Joe's partner in the
business is Mr. Harris, a batchelder, who
will board with them. -- They will have
no neighbours, except the dutch oppera-
tives, and will be twelve miles from every-
thing. -- About 40 miles from Philadelphia
and sixty from New York. -- Eliza likes
the country, but this is a little too much
like solitude, and we regret that she is
to be so immured, shut out from all social
privaledges. -- She is much obliged to
you for remembering her baby-boy, but thinks
you had better not spend money for him.
He is a fine healthy boy, now three months
old, and looks like his father. -- I read your
paper when it comes, but the Major reads but
little of anything. -- We all send love. --

Your mother E. A. Mighels. --

I am much obliged to Mrs Johnson, for her handsome present to you.]
