Dear Mother

I have received your letter of the 5th and I was very glad to hear from you and glad you did not over to Europe with Mrs Lincoln and Tad I did think you would because you and Mrs Lincoln are such friends.

I am very sorry to hear that you have a very bad cold I think it is the changes of the Climate. The reason I did not write to you is because I was not surtain if you was at home yet. I am getting along in all of my studies very well I do not study Geography know, but my German and Arithmetic I am getting a long very well. Mama I am studying as good as I can in all of my studies, and to get a good repord in all of my studies. Tell Tillie I will write to her as soon as I can.

From your Affectionate Son
