Mr Abbot H. Thayer,
Monadnock, N. H.

Dear Thayer:-
How are you and yours? I hope you are all managing to keep your heads above the snow!

I have just received word from Messrs Yamanaka & Company of New York, of the arrival at their shop of the stuffed Peacock which I bought for you in the Exhibition at Tokyo last Spring. Will you kindly tell me the best way of delivering it to you? Shall I send it by express to Dublin, or would it be easier for you to receive it at some other near by railway station? Kindly write me full instructions concerning the shipment.

How is "The Angel" behaving herself during these cold days? Is she nearing completion?

If the weather in your part of the World is as severe as it is out here, I am sorry for you. The "financial exgencies", however have been worse than the Winter weather and has kept me very closely at home. I hope by the time
