| Transcript | 444 West 57 St, New York City Feb. 27.1900 Mr William Irvine Mier. Ind Dear Uncle; This is one of several attempts I have made to write to you during the Winter but it seems that I always get interrupted in one way or another. Every year I seem to be more busy and to have less time to spare than the last We have had a very busy season at the store and I have had all the work I could possibly take care of, so when evening comes I am too tired to either read or write and I do not even get a chance to read the newspaper only to glance over the headings and as a result I have neglected to write letters as often as I should or as I would like. I was very sorry to learn through aunt Sarah's letter that you had been so sick during the Winter and I sincerely hope that you have fully recovered your health ere this. The weather here has been very mild most of the time but we are getting some cold weather now. Today has been the coldest of the season - four degrees above. We have only had one 2 hour storm that could be called a storm, the other two as three being simply flurries as I like the warm weather best it has visited me to have so little cold. Whenever I see Mrs Daly she always asks for Aunt Sarah and sends her love she has been sick several times lately but nothing serious Will and [Frank?] [Goldthait?] were in to see me yesterday for a few minutes and I was very glad to see them Last fall when there were such cheap trips to New York I expected to see some of the [Marion?] folks and we thought Aunt Rebecca or Sadie would come on to see us but we were disappointed . However we hope to see some of the folks sometime in the future. The folks in New Buffalo Mich seem to think I will be out there again this Summer but it is too far off to plan for vacation trips now. Our family has had very good health this Winter so far none of us have even had colds but there is still plenty of time to suffer from colds and kindred troubles. The family all join me in love to Aunt Sarah and all the folks and write best wishes for your own good health. Your Loving Nephew, George Hayes Farrelly |
