My precious child
Your 2d letter
came yesterday after I had
sent mine to the office –
The samples are very
pretty – would you like
one of those ginghams for
a common dress? – I have
no objection to the basque
if you wish it – the material
is very pretty – Father

goes
to New York tomorrow and
thinks Willie
Birth: 1839-06-18 Death: 1920-04-29
had better
go with him – I do not
see how you can be ready
to come home Tuesday
if your work is to be
commenced tomorrow –
If Tuesday will be too
soon for Willie to come
you may ask Frederick
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
to let me know by
telegraph – I have been
in the garden where every
thing looks well – you
have some heartsease in
flower – also snow drops –
The birds are very musical –
I miss you to day
exceedingly – I am part
of the time unoccupied –
the house is very still –
Father has gone to Church –
Willie has gone to see if
pony
Unknown
is safe in pasture –
Randolph

has just come
to read with him –

to have come out yesterday
but Uncle

was not so
well – She may come some
day this week – Freddy

Be a good girl – God
