| Dear Uncle, We received your letter and portrait and were very sorry to hear that you 
      were ill but I hope you are better now. We are all well just now and there 
      has been a very mild winter in Canada. The snow is all away now and all 
      the ice is of the creeks and rivers. There has been rain nearly every two 
      weeks this winter. In this letter you will find the lightnesses of six of 
      my family. In the one the largest is James, th eone on his right hand 
      William, the one standing behind and between them is John, the one on 
      William's right hand is Peter, the one behind and between then is 
      Elizabeth, the one sitting on the table Robert. I have no more to say at 
      present but that in the other likeness there is Elizabeth, Robert, my wife 
      and I. The likenesses are all here except Alexander who was just one year 
      old last 5th of February.
 
      Mother has not been very well but she is 
      getting better. Please write soon and when you write I would like you to 
      send Elizabeth's likeness. We send our best respects to Agnes and her 
      family and to Elizabeth.Your affectionate nephew
 John Good
