[2]Could you give me Anna Merrill Foster's present address? She wrote to me months ago, and I carelessly lost the address [illegible] given me, and as she did not write again I have no address of hers and so cannot reply to her last letter.I enjoyed, yesterday, a swift exhilirating sleigh ride out among the Caledonia bluffs. The day was sunny and bright - The temperature just a little below the freezing point - as we had previously had a rain which had gradually changed to ice, encasing each twig & limb & [then?], following this, on the night proceeding my ride, a heavy hoarfrost which add-[3]ed decoration, to the already jewelled trees & shrubs; the result was enchanting. I wish Helen & Wanda could have been with me to see it & to enjoy the ride too. They would think they were realizing some fairy dreams.I am sorry to know that you have been suffering from some bronchial trouble Hope you are better now & will long enjoy strength & health, that you may yet write volumes which will uplift & inspire with the thought of God's goodness & love & presence in all things as shown in his "Wonderful Works"; which is your mission it seems. Oh Glorious
