Willis Jan. 3rd 1879
My Dear SonYour very kind and welcome letter
of the 30th Inst, reached me, also the shoes for
Elliot which I am much obliged, they fit
him very well tho rather large; And more
than all else I do I prize the kind interest
and sympathy breathed through your letter
for my comfort and happiness; I have not
been able to move yet owing to the continued
cold weather preventing me from going out
to lay in my little stock of supplies
Today week I was down town, and by going
out took and additional cold and have
had a very hard distressing cough ever
since. I am trying to bring into requisition
the little remnant of patience yet remain-
ing to aid me in bearing the restraints
imposed by bad weather, & ill health, as
well as discomfort. Today week when I was
out I found it too cold to stop long enou
-gh to see what in the way of furniture
I could find that I would be obliged to
Have. I will if it is not raining try to
move tomorrow tho I think it very doubtful
if I can from the appearance of the weather
