Well. Agnes had been spending
two days at [Osage], and reported
George well, and as saying that
the family had not kept so well
for several winters. I had a few
lines from Marian, acknowledging
a little Christmas remembrance -
she says they all dined with Eliz at
Christmas. She & Anna did not
venture on the Xmas pudding!
Which was very good & light, but
were glad to see Eliz make away
with a good supply. They were to have
a vegetarian dinner at Anna's
on New Years. Think of it Anna
is now 70 & past.
F.HAAS, DRUGGIST,
266 FOURTH AVE.,
COR. 21ST STREET, NEW YORK.I have really so little news —
I should write oftener if it
did not seem a constant
repetition of details.
Edith has written twice
asking advice as to what
she had better do next year,
and Nettie has [write] sent
the letter to me. How I wish
I were able to pension her, and
let her drop all ideas of a
profession for which she is so
unsuited, and which she does
not like. Advice I can not.
From Boston I have heard
nothing. I fancy you hear more
often than I do. Lucie Kerrison
is not doing well, in health, this

in bed, but manages to order the
mints & keep the accounts as usual.
Dr C is busy, and is doing a good
practice. I have my four lectures
a week, and a small practice. I am
occupied but not driven, and take things
quietly. Agnes wrote a little illustrated
story for which she got $25 from a
magazine — she is doing a little
pen & ink work — but very little.
Her mind runs on other things.
They seem to have a little more
sociability out at El Mora this winter
There are two or three new families
that seem more agreeable and
more social, but I fancy these arenot have more chance of reaching
men if the she pushed her profession
more,  just as the young Dcs
do.  Her parents can now put
her in society - but if she got
any recognition in any departments
of art it might bring her into
artistic connexions.
I have been very quiet this
winter  I have been to a few concerts,
and when Mrs. Stevens was here,
I took her and Nannie to see Gleason
the horse tamer, tame some vicious
horses, and a wild fierce zebra.  It was
really curious - he is not cruel, but he
seems partly to magnetise & partly to manage
them.  I think Mrs S & N greatly enjoyed  
the [sylet?]  Now I have to go to look after
a bandage for N's poor ankle.   Affly  EB
