if you are busy, if not then several
weeks with us.?.  on no ridges, in
no valley, or aboard upon no plain
could yuor presence give more
cheer than here between the notorious
Snake and Nigsby hollows, we often make
great calculations upon the supposition
that at some certain time you will
be down this way.  Noe Brother saw-
you not do us the favour to come down
and spend the hollidays with us?  A
cold adventure time, but perhaps you
would forget that part the long, the
Ice burgs of Life are not always in the
frosen Regions, nor are the warm hearts
formed in the Tropics alone.  I know of__
more pleasant anticipation for a Christmas
Evening than to have you with us.  Now 
Bro. just be for evening this way about
that time.  I shall leave a Spase 
for Mrs. Lori and Close by saying are
have a plenty of bad colds and no good
ones-all alike.  Our boy of course is a
fine one, talks, runs, climbs and _____s
briskly.  Nothing new.  Bro David Jones
has lately lost his wife..
Truely Yours
C K Lori
