Sunday Morning
Nov. 2d
My dear Anna
Only think of our
coming away without kissing
you "good bye." — After
doing various errands
we were in time for the
cars with 10 minutes
to spare – I was sorry
to miss seeing Mr Hosmer
Birth: 1810-05-29 Death: 1889-06-19

& failed to leave a card
at the Gov's
Birth: 1811-02-08 Death: 1883-02-14
as I intended
if you see Mrs Morgan
Birth: 1810-12-10 Death: 1885-03-26

will you apologize for
me – if you do not
will you send or leave
the enclosed card —

The shopping was entirely
satisfactory to all concerned
which is all the consolation
I have for giving you so
much trouble – I hardly
know what your own plans
were – did I impress upon
you that Mrs Corning
Birth: 1794-07-31 Death: 1883-05-26
was
very earnest to have you
spend a week with her!
I was very sorry that the
only sick day I had should
have been at Mr Weeds
Birth: 1797-11-15 Death: 1882-11-22

I missed seeing your
brother
Birth: 1841-12-14 Death: 1896-10-15
& your mother
Birth: 1812-10-29 Death: 1889-10-09

again - Tell your
Father
Birth: 1808-02-07 Death: 1868-09-09
I will send the
flowering honey suckle’ tomorrow
We came home pleasantly

dined at St John's villa
Found Aunty
Birth: 1803-11-01 Death: 1875-10-03
waiting
for us at the station house
& Jenny
Birth: 1839-11-18 Death: 1913-11-09
& baby
Birth: 1862-09-11 Death: 1921-10-05
well at
home – The apples &
some grapes have been sent
the Hospital stores will
be kept here until I know
when they will meet you
in Washington —
I hope Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
may come
for you on his own
account as well as yours —
Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
continues very
tired she says "stupid'
though she slept until
9 this morning – I hope
you are only fatigued
that your eye is no
worse – the fatigue might
affect it – try one
