The Notes & Good Words have come all right—of the Notes I w'd like you to send a copy each to

Have read the Notes all through & accept & like them—(am pleased & flatter'd always best in the human side)—hope you have had a good lot struck off by the printer, as they will surely be wanted—& (barring their fearfully eulogistic tinge) I endorse all—Nothing very new or different here—physically bad off these times, bad gastric condition—catarrh of bowels—"grip" bladder trouble &c:—the pict: in "Good Words" has got a decidedly better turn to it than the big Ill: one—a gloomy blue week here—death of my brother Jeff six days ago at St Louis, Missouri—Cold weather here—all white f'm snow out—Affectionate remembrances to all—I am sitting here in the big old chair with wolf skin spread—sun shining merrily out on the snow—
