Detroit Mich [Michigan?]

Miss Weir
I received your welcome
letter. We were anxiously
waiting for an answer
Lizzie had wrote when I
started to Goderich she got
no answer. She thought that
probably it got there during
the fire. We were so uneasy
about you all untill [until?] you
wrote. But they saw by
the papers no one was hurt
It is no wonder there are a
great many sick. The cold
and exposure Well I never
knew anything about it untill
[until?] I came home. James told
me he was going to send me the
papers untill [until?] I would see
it. I had such a queer
dream about fire when I
was in Goderich. I thought
it was hasty [nasty?] news I was
going to hear so it was. Mr
Reid put a heating stove
up in my room up stairs
for fear I would feel cold
The girl started it in the
morning. Well I dreamed
I was out calling and
some person told me Mr
Reids house was on fire I
thought I was coming runing
[running?] to get my clothes out
of the room when the girl meet me
saying it must caught fire from the
chimney the draft being left
open I yells get my clothes
out & get my silk dress out
too I jumped right out of bed
& awoke. So glad to see it was
only a dream Little did I
think it was such a fire
with you's [you?]. It was a great
blessing to think no one was
burned what was the cause
of it starting. You must have
had quite a time & with your
fall Miss Gadam & Miss
Late would be kept busy
Miss Harrison would have
quite a time with her folks
How did Miss Lovel conduct
herself where is she now
Did any of the hospitals
burn. Where is Miss Harrison
& her ladies stoping it must
look very queer now the
building. When are they
going to build again I
suppose this will prevent
your going to Europe. Did
you loose [lose?] any of your clothes
or did you save any or did
Miss Harrison loose [lose?] any. My
what lovely presents you's [you?] sent
Lizzie. She cant begin to thank
you & Miss Harrison for your kindness
Write soon hoping that
you are all well
Good bye
