Father Winter
"January 4. Mr. Winter commanded to Erie on a draft for thirty days. Started this day with a company, leaving the town destitute of men, except invalids; and if the Indians should come, we should be an easy prey. God forbid that we shall ever be disturbed by that inhuman race.
"January 9. The girls taken with whooping-cough. I fear the babe will never get through this distressing disease, at this season of the year, in an open, wretched dwelling, Mr. Winter gone, and I am worn out with hardships. Elly also has the cough, and no one to see to anything.
