so near the city – Next Monday

to speak on the 2d – He has had
one ill turn this week but seems
much better now – I wish the
weather would admit of his going
every day to the Lake as he
would like to do – Our company
consisting of 3 women

& 3 ladiesUnknown
all left us last Saturday – Frances

is not well and if she does not
take more care of herself will
be likely to have consumption
she coughs and has other unfavorable
symptoms – Frank

is a very
bright little boy – his Grandmother

very proud of him – Aunty has
