Letter from Sarah E. Andrews to James A. Andrews, January 7, 1866
Hudson, Wisconsin

January 7, 1866

My Dear Brother,

I do not know what to write. I haven't an idea worth putting on paper. It is Sunday. We have all been to church. I should like to go this evening, but am afraid it may be most too much for me.

What do you think of my going to Eau Claire this winter? I should like to go next week if I could get ready. If anything should happen that Ceal should go to Mich. perhaps it would be best for me not to go.

Our Literary Society is going to have a picnic supper next week. Each lady is to invite a gentleman. If you were here you should have an invitation. They are to have the usual exercises. I have not been since I was sick so they have had mercy upon me, and have not given me anything to do.

Jennie Holden was married New Year's morning to Mr. [Russell] Bunker, brother of the daguerrian artist. They went to Mr. K[e]eley's house to be married, and then started for St. Paul.

Mary attended a small party at Mrs. Evans Tuesday evening.

Mrs. Moffat called here the other day on her way up to Aunt Lydia's; she asked Mother and I to go, too.

Ceal went up to Mr. M. to stay with Mary.

Love to all,

Yours with affection

Sarah

I think you fared well for presents for Christmas.
