I had about half an hours talk from M[r?] Stevenson to-day, he was asking for you all he was in Anderson & McAuleys he is very nice. I wish you would give me 6s/6 for to buy me what braid would do my jacket the [they?] are very nice, this summer the head mantle maker said she would do it for me if I would get the braid, I would like it for going home at Easter, she is very kind to me the others are jealous of me I think it was very good of her mamma you might send it to me. Aunt had tow [two?] or three lines from Uncle last week, he said he would write to us all in a week he is very well If my father had one let us know. We are all getting along very well.
