  My Dear Sarah
     I just received your very kind letter and am sorry my neglect to write has 
  caused you anxiety.  I have been so busy that I put things off.  I do not 
  recollect anything you have written that could pained me.  Nothing has gone 
  wrong with me.  I have an extraordinary good wife and all the children and 
  there familys like her very much.  She has had a good deal of money at one time 
  and and acumulated a large amount of high priced furniture and BrickaBrack 
  which would not fit our house.  So I rented a house and we left Christine in 
  the house with the furniture.  Bess just moved into her new house and Ed is 
  living with us.  Every thing is going nicely.  If I can ever get my finances in 
  shape there is no reason why I should not be perfectly comfortable and happy.  
  They expect another baby at Coods.  Christines boy has not been very strong  
  but seems to be all right now.  My wife is an excelent cook and good 
  housekeeper.  But confidentaly I would rather live in the little house on the 
  hill with the old furniture.  I am glad to hear you are all well.  You can send 
  this to Carrie as I do not suppose I will get started to write them.  I do not 
  know if I owe them a letter.  Fred and Edith are all right.  I was elected 
  President of the Town again this spring.  Your brother, Will
