Swan. he ownes one or two Houses that was left to him by his Aunt. I have heard he had stock in the Washington Bank. I am putting in a clipping from the News, the Paper I shall wait another week before I send them if I had been Jack I would not let out I had received the letter and before long some one would have been asking him then he could have found out about it.

Down east when Mrs. Knowlton is (Drakes former housekeeper) she wrote up to Pearl that snow was five feet on a level, no roads broken out, they go with snow shoes, no mail delivery and a mile to the office, she lives Monroe and some places in the west, they have had but very little snow, and an open winter.
