224 Arch St. Dec 22nd 66 Sister Ellen; I will endeavor to write you a letter, hoping in will find you all in good health. You said that no letter came from me for a long time, it is not because I neglected to write, but they must have been lost. Now Sister the weather is very cold all week, probably not as cold as in Iowa, still cold enough enough to make a person shiver. "not with standing all his 'kiver'". Today the weather is more damp than for some time and chickens, turkeys, geese, rabbits & possums, cows, pigs, are now are crowding the markets Ellen has a Goose and turkey ready for christmas, of which I am not sorry at all, would you?
