I had a letter from Mr Luscomb who seems to like his new quarters, but
2all our Cape folk will find the winter that is closing in about us
3hard to bear. The fog is terrible already. How I wish I could find
4myself on the farm with you all for a few days. I'm not well enough to
5write real letters, but I've got you all in my heart.
