Haneville

Ever dear Cousins

I will improve the few leisure moments allotted me in answering your kind and ever welcome letter. We was happy indeed to hear from you once more, and to hear that you were all enjoying so good a degree of health. Our family is all well at present. Cousin Lyman how little did I think when I saw you at Mr Alexanders that I should one day address you as cousin but strange things will happen

Tell Aunt Sarah that Mother Hunt has had a very hard time of it this fall Fathers being sick and Sarah too She was first at Sarah's and then at home I would go and take care of Father when she was up to Sarahs. But she stood it remarkably well she will outdo any girl in Ill.

We are having very cold weather here now, we have snow enough to make tolerable good sleighing Now Lyman when you write again have your wife write some we want to get more acquainted with her I must close for it is late

Much love to all From your aff. Cousins

E. & F. Hunt
