Portage, Wis., Feb. 9th, '94.

My dear Brother John:

Time does indeed fly very "fastly" and I have not accomplished nearly as much as I had intended to before this date. We have enjoyed mild pleasant weather with very little frost or snow since the 21st of December. But this day is what mother calls a genuins "February fill the dyke" day. It is snowing and blowing and drifting about in true February style, and how the dogs are enjoying it, chasing and tumbling and frolicking about, as if it were exactly to their taste.
A recent letter from Ette …

My dear Brother John;

Your holiday letter and card came to me and was greatly enjoyed, not so much enjoyed not as a visit would have been, but as you could not arrange to come our way, the next best was a letter from you.
Your recent long trip must have been grand indeed, both from what you write and the home people write, and mother must have been very grateful for all the pleasant news you brought from her long loved home in Scotland. She sent me a tartan kerchief at Christmas time …

The study of Jewish jurisprudence has become interesting during the past ten years through the efforts of some painstaking scholars, who have not been burdened with any particular dogma, but have been actuated by a true Christian spirit. They have been close students of those portions of the Talmud which throw light on the jurisprudence of the Jews.

His work and study is so highly appreciated and so well known everywhere. A lady and gentleman living here, in talking with [Celice] said that while traveling they visited the …
