My Dearest Sister,
We are all mixed up wonderfully
here but I have made a little place on the table
just large enough for a sheet of paper. Miss
Oakley
Miss Oakley has made a calico
which I think will set very well she is to
make Clarys
you just like mine if you wish me to send
it to you must say so I thought unless you
could have it made there it would be useless
I have not been out of the house yet, my limb
has been very weak and painful so that I
am unable to walk much. I have received
two letters from Henry
One of them he sent by Mr Rutherford
gentleman from New Jersey who has come to
study with Henry, he brought also the
“Last days of Pompeii”
as soon as I have read. This I cannot
do in so short a time as you not being
able to use my eyes much at a time.
You have read Stone’s
and as far as I can judge he estimates
its meris’ merits very correctly. Henry writes
nothing very new, he and Uncle Cary
in our old rooms very pleasantly going to the

theatre and ‘dining out’. I believe they make a point
of dining with Rathbone
is there on Sunday School business. Polydore
run away again and is considered a hopeless case.
Henry desires always to be affectionately remembered to you
I believe I have seen no one since I wrote before
but Isaack
in their visits Sunday evenings. I will send
the things you mention if Miss Riggs
Alternate Text: finishes
your hood I expected it was certainly done
today and have just sent for it but it
is not quite finished I think I can certainly
send it Tuesday. Clary says her teeth
trouble her so much that she feels pretty
much discouraged, it is getting dark and
I must conclude. Report says F. Dibble
is [ t ]
Alternate Text: to be married to Goodwin
Little Fred has had no more trouble with his
hand and I begin to feel assured that it will
not pain him any more. Henry says that Tracy
says it is intermitting, that he will get over it
but protest against the use of Iodine.
Grandma
would give a great deal to see cousin Frances
