Dear Ruth,
Yes I am in Quebec colony and I think you will be glad to know that I will be spending the Advent days and the twelve night with you and your family. I am so sorry about your mother, I hope by the time I come to visit your father will be remarried. I do know what it is like because your father is right. My mother passed away when I was about 12 and my father remarried to your grandmother Rose Alden. It will be my pleasure to bring you some furs. Here in Quebec the French put a Christmas Wreath on their door do you have that? If not I will also bring you it.
I must know, what does your mothers Skull and Crossbones say? Does she have an Epitah, if so what does it say? I am lying in again waiting to have another baby. Rachel is learning to walk but I am still go carting her for now, do you have a carriage in your home?
The Indians are friendly here. They will trade with us, give us food and help the baby. One of the Indians here healed me from my cold and they also healed Edward. Edward says we will be stopping by Plymouth twice in the new year for about a month.
Our little family is still at health. I thank God. I will name the baby Percilla or Timothy, I hope you agree. I will see you soon

Myles commerce to get to Dartmouth, Anna a new dress, Edward and Jacob new church shoes as well, Katherine, A new coif, Mary and Elizabeth dresses, Samuel a teddy bear, and hopefully your new mother a dress.
