Dear Lucy,
I suppose you will expect a few lines from me, so that you can be sure that I got home all right, after I left you at Athol. To be sure I felt quite sea-sick when I reached home but was soon over it after I stopped rocking. Am glad you got along well. I have not received those letters for the banks yet. I hope you are not sick. I expect you are busy. The books you sent are all back and in your trunk again. The Peoples bank at W-r wrote that before you transact any business with them you must send your appointment on a copy - and fill out a card they sent you - they wished it done right away, but I think they can wait till you come home. None of the other banks mentioned any such thing.
We are all as usual except Carrie and Mary both have bad colds. Mary feels most sick tonight but think she will be better in the morning. Carrie got home Monday afternoon - her cold is not nearly well, and she does not look well - she plans to go to Hartford about March 1.
I have not accomplished much this week - we have been looking over those goods and dividing them what time we got yesterday and today. I want to get them sorted and sent away as soon as we can, then I shall not have them to think of. This afternoon we have been to Wellington Club at Mrs. Bourn's. I did not feel anxious to go but finally went and by doing so I escaped a call from Mr. Skerrye, so I got so much good out of it. He came in and culled [sic] on Uncle Isaac and Mary so it is just as well. Mrs. Parker called on us yesterday forenoon, and Charles Davis came to look after the clocks in the afternoon. Elmer is gaining and I think Clara Aiken is a little better. Mr. May is very feeble and probably cannot live but a few days. Has it been cold there this week? I don't think of any news, and as I am tired and sleepy I will stop. I hope you did not take any more cold and are all rested. Is Miss Bliss better? I have heard nothing from Amoret. [?]
Take good care of yourself.
Much love,
Mama.
