Blenheim December 18th 1864

Sunday evening

Your long and delightful

letter dearest Mother was received

by Wednesday mail,and I can't tell

you how glad I was to get it. When

your letter was written I see you had

not received my letter of the 9th, nor

Nina the one of the 11th but I hope both

have come to hand [?] this. I have

gotten all your letters, and two of them

were very long on the road. I had

a letter too from dear Father by the last

mail saying he had gotten released

from his place at Mr. Scott's and written

accepting Mr. [Cable's?] offer, and that you

and he would be together, oh dear

Mother I am so glad, I do hope you will

both be more comfortable now than

you have been for a long long time, but

do pray write and tell me where Mr.

Cable
