My Dear Mother

Mattie arrived all right on Wednesday abt​ about​ 3ocl—in the afternoon—We were all glad enough to see her I assur​ assure​ you—The weather had been very bad ever since she left Brooklyn—but she got along very comfortably—and looked very well when she got in—I should have written you yesterday—but I understoo[d] Mat to say that she either would or had done so

Mat had a fine visit home and I think it has done her lots of good—also I am very glad to hear that there is a prospect of getting you and Walt out here—hope you will come sure—

Please excuse this letter as I have just time to say that Mat arrived safely—the children are well and happy as can be—

affectionately Jeff
