  Dear Walt,

I have been too busy to even get time to say thank you, for your good letter, & the papers.

All are welcome, but I was rejoiced at the good news in your letter to Dr. Bucke, & which he quotes in his. I echo his words.  & hope that you are feeling pretty well this clear cold day.

I am very glad you sent me the letter from Dr. Bucke, I will return it later. I have been trying to get the house into living order, & the stove is all right & burns well since it was repaired. The watercloset had to be seen by the plumbers, &  they are slow, so it all takes time, but I am getting in order, & you know that I did not live in Philadelphia five years for nothing! I have a great love of good house keeping, care too much I fear, for the trifles.

I hope that your boys are well, & your house-keeper. I was invited out to dine  yesterday, Thanksgiving day. Last year I had William & Harold Channing, but I think we did not ask any guest, William was already so much of an invalid in some ways.

With dear love, & all good wishes— As ever— Nelly O'Connor.
