Yours of day before yesterday rec'd —I am well as usual, & bustling about—Sister and brother well—Bitter cold & gusty gales here for two days—I don't go out so much—Went over Sunday morning to foot of Arch St. Phila. to breakfast on a steamer—bountiful breakfast—jolly democratic three hours—I have written to Miss Jenny G.—I sent John Burroughs your Brooklyn address—he & wife are away spending Christmas holidays—I shall send him your present address—havn't seen E's portrait yet—I am writing this up in my room—Sun shines out as I finish
W WMerry Christmas to you & all
