Monday evening
My precious child
The information
we find in the papers this
evening has changed our
purpose of going to Niagara
at present – The houses
are all reported full and
that Frenchman
Birth: 1824-02-28 Death: 1897-02-22
is on
Thursday (the day we should
be there) to have one of
his wickedly absurd
exhibitions – Augustus
Birth: 1826-10-01 Death: 1876-09-11

has not returned and
we hear nothing from the
Huson's
x Birth: 1822  Death: 1861-10-14  Birth: 1825  Death: 1898 
– All things
conspire to discourage our
going at this time –
I will go with you
to Niagara later in the
season – and will

send for you now any day
you will specify either
by letter or telegraph.
You know how much
I wish to see you but
I will not insist upon
your coming for a day
or two if you prefer to
stay and your friends
x Birth: 1844-09-14  Death: 1920-04-14  Birth: 1846-01-11  Death: 1913-03-14 

continue to wish it
I write in haste for the
mail – You are never
absent from my thoughts
May God bless you
Good night my darling
Mother –
