Yes, I have seen Havelock's bk & chap. on W.W. Yes it is very gloomy weather. I am "swain by winter pinched & worn" somewhat myself, toothache &c. Had a stunning dinner, though today (at great upstairs Quincy market restaurant) (chicken soup & rump steak & corn bread.) Yr frequent mention of oysters has led me to think of them, & we have 'em often. I stick a can full in ulster pocket, & merrily home I glide. Good letter fr. mother today (in Oberlin). Well the richest blessings of time & eternity to you in a glass of orange wine (good, too). Love unlimited fr. yr constant lover & friend.
W.S.K.I see they are celebrating Lincoln's birthday now more and more.
