Dear James
We are all very well at present,
but mother feels bad about Isabella. We got
the memoriam cards. William sent you a small
parcel by a man called Hagen from Portavogie.
We have some snow now but it is withal [withall?] a very
open & mild winter. Enclosed is a card for
Lizzie. William & us all send best regards
Yours
Nick
