The same stormy cold weather, with some heavy rain—real winter. Impatient all day for the letters to be sorted and page 191distributed, which did not take place till four o'clock. Got seven letters—from Mamma and Nanny enclosing some to her from Mary. All well, thank God, and going on well. They had heard from us by the Zeno via New York, and were much relieved. Spent the evening again with the Townsends as it was blowing too hard to go across. Sleepless night from the excitement of letters.
