To Pamela A. Moffett
30 November 1879 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: NPV, UCCL 01729)
My Dear Sister:

You must thank the committee for me for their pleasant note. I am very glad that the books were of a satisfactory kind.

Livy is doing tolerably—only. The children are hearty.

If the winter lasts long enough, maybe we’ll get “settled”—there is no telling.

With love to all

Yr Bro
Sam.
