14/3/13My dear Frances
We were very glad, this morning when the mail man handed in your letter of yesterday[.]
I see of course from your view point why you waited to write but that does not prevent us from being worried when the usual letter does not come it would be better for you to have to write twice, a matter of an extra few minutes than to cause us three or four days of anxiety.
Dont [sic] fail to let me know when you will be home so I can meet you, we all hope it will be Tuesday but if you go to Boston be sure to write me fully from there[.]
We had copy of the new survey from Evans [?] this a.m so the matter of the Whittbury [?] claim will be taken up at once and I hope we will be able to get an agreement from her to sell, signed next week so that I can get to Suffield early in April. I should have been there a month ago. All here are well, there is no snow and small green beaches of grass are just beginning to show, the daffodils are four or five inches high and the tulips about two inches I wish I were in the country again. All send love to you and are impatient for your home-coming with remembrances to my friends at Mt Holyoke
Lovingly
Daddy
