Canaseraga Jan 26th 1879 Dear Hugh I will not try to tell you how glad I was to hear you was married. I have thought about you so much this cold winter; working hard with no one to cheer you when you come in tired or hungry. The future looks all brightnes to you now in your warmth of love; but when the stern realities of life come we need a more enduring love to make us overlook each others faults; for none are perfect our tastes differ, and well it is for each one if they early learn to cultivate a forgiving disposition and my dear children let this ever be your motto that the sun shall never set upon your wrath in any misunderstanding always be reconciled to each other ere you sleep; may you be happy is the blessing sent from your dear mother - I wish you could send me your pictures do so as soon as possible wont you? We are having a cold winter so far had good sleighing 6 weeks; Allice Scott & Alher[?] Fritz came in last evening to enquire about you being married, George is at the Commercial College Rochester he will not stay on the farm - Mate lives just below here Wile is snowed in at Penn I have not sen Fannie since New Year Free & Eliza came down 2 weeks ago Sabbath went back the same day - O how I wish I could drop in & see you: are you going to live in the mill house do write and tell me I dont expect you will Hugh but do have your Wife I will be O so glad to hear from you both now you will wont you my dear children from your loving Mother
