Dear Robt [Robert?]
Your letter of the 18th Dec [December?] reached
me in due time. I was sorry to hear that you had not
been well, but hope you are all right again. I would
have liked to have seen you when you went 2 weeks
without shaving. I don't suppose Frank would have
let you in if you had went there on Sunday, he would
not have known you.
The weather has been very cold here for a couple of
weeks past, & we have a foot of snow on the
ground, last night the temperature went down to zero +
it is almost as cold today. I wish it was summer again,
as it is much pleasanter.
I hope you enjoyed the "bar" of the "Melmore". It is
very convenient sometimes to have a refuge of that sort.
There is nothing strange here since I wrote you before,
Murphy has not returned + I never hear a word about him,
no more thatn if he had never been there. Old Sloane is
very sick again + is not expected to live long at the
best. He had a bad spell over a month ago + was in the
house a long time, but came out one day last week + went
to the lumber yards, + went home + took to his bed, + for
a couple of days was not expected to live. But the old
fellow is tough. Still he is not the same as he was; he
has lost heart + feels that he is done.
I must not forget to thank you for all the papers you
sent me. You give yourself altogether too much trouble
sending so often, one once in a while when anything
unusual occurs is enough. I must send you one once in
a while. I am kept so busy that I have not much time now
but must not forger my old friends.
Wm [William?] and Richd [Richard?] wish to be remembered
to you. Don't forget to write
Yours as ever
S. Kane.
