[4]I shall have to explain the reason for delaying to send this letter or you will think we were very negligent, I have a Niece attending school at the University, and she said she would see the janitor and get him to bring those things you left, to her room, And she took your letter, lest she might forget, And if we could not remember your address, and did not get your letter again, until yesterday. Mr Squire has gone back to his Reg't. and we feel very sad about it. I went up Saturday, expecting to see him but they had sent him away two days before, His Regiment are at Natehes. R Squire[1] January 11th 1864Dear friend Muir We received your kind letter and was very glad to hear from you and to know that you was enjoying yourself among your friends. we are all well at present we are going to school but do not have a very good one this winter we have a female teacher.
