Thursday
Dear Mother
I have just received
your letter, I am so sorry you
have been sick all the time –
your letter has made me feel
very badly about Washington,
but I we can only hope & pray –
I wish I knew if you did
not feel more cheerfully
today & if you had not
seen better news. They say
Washington is constantly
reinforced –
The party last night was very
pleasant – we have in
consequence ^of it^ many calls
to make – Sarah
