Was sorry—extremely sorry—to hear of your illness—trust you are well again by this time, (as fore-indicated by H[erbert]'s last)—all H's books for Mrs S[tafford] came safely—also letters & p.o. order—rec'd the good, long, fine letter from B[eatrice]—The S's are all well as usual—I am getting along capitally for me this winter so far—have been & am writing quite a deal to order (astonishing, isn't it?)—will surely send you when in print—I wish you would send the Cedar-Plums like to Rossetti—(I suppose you rec'd it)—what silly fictitious items appear about me in some of the English papers—(about as bad as here)—trust you all had merry Christmas & New Year's—Cold & deep snow here—
