Dear Mr. McQuesten,

Your kind and welcome letter came to hand in due time and was pleased to hear you were still hale and harty,¹ and longing for that ride in a road cart but "not any for mine" without heavier insurances.

Well, in reguard to your house hold effects I am still out home and can not say when I am going to go to town because mother is still in the east² and doubtful when she will be home but I do not think there would any trouble about certain thing but in regular to bedding I am doubtful but I could not promise to get them for you.

You will see by my letter I am in Buffalo. I am at Mrs. Howard White's she has fallen air [sic] to an 8 ½ lbs. boy but has fully recovered and I expect to return home about saturday.

Every person is well about Buffalo I went to Zealandia to church last sunday they have m service in Buffalo now but expect a knew school and then there will be service I expect in it. Miss Kirkland and Mr. Dolan are still quite great. I believe he make regular calls.

Will Anderson has gone east and left Pearlie to pine away.

My brother is no better in the east I think he may last until the opening of the leaves in the spring.

Every person is well at home Tully and Nelson brought me my mail last Sunday they are busy digging a well are down 70 feet. My baby crying goodbye. Trusting this may find you well as it leaves us all.

Yours sincerely

Rebecca Anderson
