Written at Granby, with no state listed. She is happy to hear that he went sleigh riding with some girls. Answers him that Carrie has not said anything of him, though she saw Carrie at the Gaylords' and did not expect her to say anything in front of them. She has not yet formed an opinion on Carrie but hears only good things about her. Writes later that there was a party and Carrie is now married. The child they took in, Sarah Jane Gifford, has "deserted" them. Tells him of all the events happening at home and about the passing of a friend who died before she was married.
