Dear Papa and Mamma,
Your letters of the 19th inst. were received on the 26th, coming in much less time than usual.
Today we are having what in Texas would be called a Norther.
Owing to missing the car this morning we walked in town, and thought we, before we reached Po'keepsie, we should be blown & torn to pieces. For a while we walked on the stone wall, from which one of the girls was actually blown, and it needed all

Please excuse this short letter, for the walk in the wind has made
me very
