My dear Will,
I meant

Susy
Birth: 1850-06-09 Death: 1859-03-13
– went this morning –
I shall miss them very much
We all went to the de-
pot and father
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10

a Mr Dudley

Dont forget the ambro Ambrotypes!
return tonight - here is
here to tea – John
Birth: 1841-12-14 Death: 1896-10-15
stayed
to go home with Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
and Anna
Birth: 1834-03-29 Death: 1919-05-02
.
On Freds birthday we
prepared tableaux which
came off in the even-
ing – there were a good
many – Fortune telling –
The rose-thistle and
Shamrock – Andromache
weeping over the ashes
of Hector – Red riding
hood. The love letter –
Taking the veil –
The bride and widow –
Rebecca at the well. and
History – Painting and music.
Thompson Youngs
Birth: 1827 Death: 1902-06-23
and his
bride were here.
Sunday afternoon
Mr Schoolcraft is gone.
We went to church today —
and after church I went
to Sunday school. all through
school a little bird flew
about the room. I thought
him a canary – when school
was over Sarah How
Birth: 1843 Death: 1863-08-10
and
Mary Titus
Birth: 1846-01-11 Death: 1913-03-14
helped me
try to catch him. Docter
Cressy
Birth: 1811-02-06 Death: 1866
came in – and
caught him in my
shawl. I brought him
home and put him
in the cage with Lulu
but he escaped through
the wires — we then put
him in another cage — cover-
ed it with mosquito net –
he is listening to Lu – after
many fruitless attempts
to get out — If he proves
a yellow bird — I must let
him go – but if a
canary — I wish to keep
him —
Mother
Birth: 1805-09-24 Death: 1865-06-21
is pretty well — and
sends a great deal
of love — as does Aunty
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
