up for the road is now impassible I shall
make arrangements for my coming up if I
can get any one to accompany me I can now
leave Kate and ride up on horse back
Jane never ceases to remind me I can now

to go up. I understand [Saml?] is not gone

[but?] I must wait a wek or ten days to
see [indecipherable] the baby gets on. all are quite well
