Transcription	West Chester Wyers Scientific & Classical Institute Jan 8th 1870 My dear Mother It has now been two weeks and more since I have had the pleasure of hearing from any of you. I know it can�t be owing to the irregularities of the mail for I over-heard Mr. Wyers read Pas signature aloud to a letter he had just received if it is possible for him to get letters from you it must certainly be for me. School will commence regularly Monday the 10th and the boys will go to work refreshed and with renewed vigor and energy feeling the urgent need of diligence and perseverance. I say boys, but at the same time speak for myself presuming they feel about it as I do. Last night I with a few others went to the �Methodist Protracted meeting.� after the sermon I realy think you would have laughed right out loud had you been there the Preacher began to call on the congregation to come forward and profess Jesus. Many women went up and men such crying I don�t suppose you ever heard in a church it was more like a nursery than anything else just a continual bohoo all the time. I had to laugh whether it was right to do so as not it seemed impossible to restrain myself. The winter so far has been extremely mild even more so I think than last- affording very poor skating and sleighing indeed we have had very pretty weather for several days past. I sincerely hope it may continue so far I always feel in better health and spirits when the weather is fine. In my last I sent you three [Phot]. If there is a right good looking young lady down there one that would compare well with me I will give you permission to present her one of my pictures. I sit down thinking I would only write a short letter to say my health is as good as usual to keep good my customary promptness. I will now say bye, bye with any quantity of love for your dear self Pa and Grand Ma Your Affectionate son F. Robt Bernard P.S. You will see from the composition and hand-writing of this that I have not taken a great deal of pains, laziness and beginning it late are only excuses I offer F.R.B.
